@campervan1..Thats going to be garages problem now unless they said further work would be paid for by yourself... most transit glow plugs wont be working by now and unless u got a TDCI if you got cold start problems its very unlikely to be glow plugs its more likely fuel filter head problem or fuel pump solenoid leaking fuel making air enter when the engine isnt running... Mine starts at minus 15 last year when on holiday with no problems minus 18 was a lot of turning over and colder needed eberspacher heater to be left on as it wouldnt start by then and my glow plugs havent worked since I had the van.. my old van they didnt work and it made no diffrence, they was fitted to help clean up cold starts emmisions more than anything else.. When I worked at fords we very rarely replaced any glow plugs and ones we did we thrashed van up and down duel carrageway till it was hot and then a bit of extra heat on each glow plug before even attempting to remove them..
