Glow Plugs removal/test
Not yet done for CRD. Understand disconnect battery(precaution), remove TMIC (if fitted), remove glow plug electric connection buzz bar, unscrew the seals.
Use long socket(maybe 12mm) to get the glow plugs out, you don't want to stuff up the tops of the old plugs and make it harder to get them out.
Note: use some anti-cease spray on glow plugs work them back and fwd as carbon may build up on probe.

Test with multimeter: Glow plugs resistance should be ~0.8 Ω @ 25°C

Idle should be around 750rpm, would trust scan tool etc from OBD11 port.

Eng Load _ Idle (stationary) mine is 25% (use a h/f turbo/9" pod air box).

When checking actuator make sure you have the needle valve closed. Also have a look and make sure your needle valve (currently) is not wound out too far, causing the rod to have drop excessively with the lever to sit too far away from stop screw. Too much can cause a throaty noise/drone in induction apart from slow spool rate(laggy). Best to set max boost with dawes having needle fully closed and the unwind needle (@ idle) until the actuator lever just drops away from stop screw. Hope I am not teaching you how to suck eggs mate.

Thanks for your help Bidja, every bit of info is appreciated. there's no egg sucking going on here.
