320d?

Which plugs are you refering to?

Glow plugs aren't really a 'service' item.

thanks im going to add as people reply.

Can you not get someone to check the resistance of the glow plugs? No point in changing them if they check alright.

Faulty glow plugs come up as a diagnostic code afaik.

You can check their resistance with a multimeter.

car starts perfectly fine, i bought the car from a large showroom called fortnums in staines and now they have gone bust, but just before they did last year i got a free service off them as the car came with 4 years free servicing, a week later they closed and possibly done a runner, now the BMW is slightly hesitating it could be st oil has been put in or that free service was just a tyre check with service counter reset, so to play it safe i just want to get it serviced and see if this ever so slight hesitation stops.

were still paying the finance for the vehicle
seems im not the only one who didnt trust there servicing then.

Have the injectors looked into for the stuttering?

Fit vortex oil breather
Clean egr valve

If you've still got 10k before the next service is due and it's 'stuttering' then I'd suggest its broken rather than just in need of a service. Effort should be focused on diagnosing whats wrong rather than wasting time and money servicing it before it needs doing. I'd suggest a jap car specialist is probably not the best first port of call for this.
