VX recommend 4yrs or 40K for glow plugs. although they can last longer with no problems at all. You are waiting for the glow plug light to go out aren't you? (I know it may sound a stupid question).

If you notice the glow-plug light stays on for longer and the car struggles to start this could mean you need new glow plugs.

You don't say if you have Stop/Start as this makes a massive a difference to the cost, I wouldn't see warranty covering the cost as they are a wear & tear item you would need to check with them.

But if everything was fine before VX did the service I would be speaking with them.
