The LH front No 1, remove engine cover, remove 2 x Tork bolts holding a small electrical connection box and move out of the way, cut zip tie holding other tubing against fuel rail (I think) and then remove glow plug electrical connector, use long 8mm socket and flexible knuckle and 3/8 drive ratchet to remove.
The RH rear No 6, remove engine cover, remove RH engine cover retaining bracket (10mm bolt), remove glow plug electrical connector, then use 8mm long socket and small extension bar and insert at the back of electrical wires carrier and remove with 3/8 drive ratchet.
You have me confused I thought #6 GP was the L/H rear. (L/H means your looking forwards too.) Anyway it's the rear L/H plugs that's covered with wires and plastic casings and metal brackets. I'll take a photo, may my 06 model has a different set of crap covering it?

Enjoy life, just get out there and do it!
yep did mine a while ago now it was a bit of a pain to get to the #6 but with long socket and ext 8m is correct it came just like all the others mate just feed the socket down there between all the junk using a torch to help guide and step ladder so you can lean right over the bay
if still no good head up here and i'll be happy to help m8
I am trying to upload the drawing that I have of the engine, will try at work and see if I can get it done into suitable format and post it here. But it shows looking from the front of car back to the firewall and numbers the plugs as I have mentioned. I can also upload photo of my engine and we can see where the differences may be but maybe we are just confusing ourselves Willing to help anytime if you want....... on Northside of Brisbane
By the way the glowplugs that i purchased are made by Borgwarner Beru (www.beru.com) they are made in Germany

Reason: More information
hi Multihull, we are talking about the same glow plug, only difference is which way you are looking, front of car to firewall (ME) or looking frontwards (YOU)
And as GoÁrd has mentioned you can get down behind the wiring etc with a long socket it just looks impossible. I just found it easier to take the engine cover support bracket off (off the rear wall) and it seemed to give me a bit more room, maybe that is just my idea and doesn't need to be taken off but it is only one bolt..
