You only really need to change them when the car starts to struggle starting (As you know they only used to start the car).
You have stop/start so not going to be cheap I think they use the same as J if so http://www.autovaux.co.uk/product/55579436-1214087-glow-plug-beru-astra-j-zafira.aspx

yep it's exactly the same just wondered if they have a replacement life span
i would rather replace things before there is a problem

4yrs or 40,000 which ever comes first.
