Injectors are common on these, I replaced a fair few in my time at Vauxhall. Ideally you need to perfrom an injector leak off test to confirm this. On the other hand its not new for the glow plugs to need to be replaced. They are easy to test as you just need to unscrew them from the head and connect them to a 12V source. If you have one that doesnt near instantly glow red - theres your problem!
Injectors are also a couple of hundred quid from Vauxhall and you also need to use TECH2 or something similar to reprogram them. Each one has a uniqe 12 digit number which must be matched up to the ECU.
