Power loss accelerating up a long incline
Either it's getting so hot it's going into an engine protection mode, or it's suffering from fuel starvation I think. Either way it want the codes read.

Diesel metering unit
I don't know the Weymouth area, but suggest looking for a Bosch Diesel or TurnerTune outfit.

Flashing glow plug light but recently had all glow plugs changed?
Before spending out money, check if the brake lights work. If none of them do, you need a new brake light switch.

Water in the inside climate radiator
Normal function. As per @Breezy_Pete above, you may need to find and clear a drain hole. It's normally left of centre with the usual convention of left and right being when facing in the sirection of travel.
