Hi, glow plugs does not need changing unless the vehicle struggles to start in the morning or when cold. When testing the glow plugs, they should not take longer then about 5 seconds to become red hot.

I think the 2006 X Type uses the Ford Duratec diesel engine. This is used in several different vehicles including the Ford Transit. The plugs are usually located on the intake side of the engine. This engine usually has them under the injector rail, tucked behind the intake manifold. You'll need to remove the intake manifold and the EGR unit to get to them.
I've attached a video for the 2.4 Transit engine as the layout is basically the same. Hope this helps. https://youtu.be/ULbVv8midXg
This actuator is a very common problem for the Diesel Jaguar X-Type & S-Types Built between 2003 and 2007.
The fault causes the flashing glow plug light to appear and the engine to go in to "limp mode" the problem normally starts out as an intermittent fault but then becomes more permanent.
These Actuators control the waste-gate on your turbo and are not available separately from the dealer, you have to buy the complete turbo for a small fortune.

A company can rebuild your own turbo actuator and/or supply replacement units from stock when available both options come with an unlimited mileage Lifetime warranty*.

jaguar x-type 2ltr diesel 2004 the glow plug warning light flashing, was told dirty fuel on fault code all fuel changed and filters. No problems for 20 miles untill engine was put under power on high revs went into limp mode, warning light glow plug falshing again? any ideas thanks.
The Glow plug coming on, and the car going into limp home mode, is a default safety feature that occurs when the engine management system picks up any kind error message from the many sensors now used on the car. I've found the glow plug light problem with my Jag, it was the air filter. Apparently Jaguar servicing change it every 3rd service (not a good idea). I changed mine, it is a new car. I had the EPR valve cleaned and a major diagnostic carried out by a local garage (who had the Jag diagnostic software). It turns out I also need a new Turbo; the actuator is sticking (£759.00 plus 3 hours labour). But hey, the main limp home mode problem is fixed and I can drive my Jag confident it will accelerate when press the gas.
