I have a mk6 transit and on a morning it's getting a bit lazy to start and the heater plug light goes off pretty fast and don't know if they have heater plugs seperate or they are built in with the injectors I'm unsure any advice

When you say lazy, you mean "flattish battery" type lazy?

Even though the heater plug indicator on the dash lights up. it doesn't mean the plug is actually working. Check that first, even in this warmer weather.

Heater plugs don't matter on theses unless mega cold! Common problem is timing chain guide wearing causing timing to go out, and poor starting

Doubt it will be heater plugs on a transit especially this time of yr on a transit sounds more like timing or valve clearance or injector/ pump any fault codes ?
