I am repeatedly getting a code P0380 on my fault code reader but I am not getting any other warnings such as the engine malfunction light. the car appears to be running well. 

Should I be worried?If i should, where should I start?

It is a MK4 mondeo 1.8 tdci with approx 112000 on the clock.

    P0380 is a glow plug fault. Are you having problems starting the car in the mornings?

    I was having a problem on cold mornings when there was frost, an traced it to a krackerd battery which has now been replaced and everything starts ok.
