Latitude glow plug issue

My 2011 Renault Latitude, diesel engine, is showing a persistent glow plug issue. The preheating lamp won't switch off, and there's an error logged. Defective glow plug, I presume?

Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my Latitude. Was there any engine misfire or rough idle alongside the glow plug light? Did you observe a hit in fuel efficiency?

Engine seems fine, no misfires and no rough idling. Fuel consumption normal, too. How did you solve it exactly? Did you replace the glow plugs yourself?

Didn't do it myself, actually. The problem was definitely the glow plugs, all four needed replacing. It's a fiddly job. I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. Cost me 440€.

Thanks for the confirmation. Will take it to the garage for glow plug replacement; seems like the best course of action. Wish me luck!
