Should start without the glow plugs, does the light come on on the dash?

I don't know on the 2006 L322, but on my P38 it's in the same box as the engine ECU. If the light doesn't not come on, it could also be the engine temperature sensor.

It does start but turns over for a good while, and there is no power going to the plugs

OK, so relay or the big fuse that feeds it, should be in the owners handbook.
If the fuse has gone, it's likely that a glow plug has failed.

Glow Plug Timer Relay is in the E-Box under the bonnet (big black box with a lid secured with a few dome headed bolts!)

+1 to the relay

I'm sure diagnostics would identifiy the issue

Checking the fuse first would be a good idea, the relay is expensive, the fuse is not.

Or at least check the mains power into the relay and the control signal for the coil !

Swapping stuff out can start costing big money

Fuse is a big 100A jobbie....find that and check, as the others have said check fuse and feed first!
