do you think it will be the glowplugs
Buy a thermostart unit (cost about £20-30),wire it through a push button,and pipe fuel to it from a small container just above it to allow a gravity feed.Most inlet manifolds have a blanking plug you can remove and the"hotstart" unit will screw in.Once wired in all you need to do is press button for about 15-20 secs and it will fire up instantly.!!

I have an ex bt 120, owned it for around 5 years.Last few winters whenever frost arrives I get the cold starting problem,luckily we live at the top of a hill. A few weeks ago I remembered there is a previously unused water heater under the van from the bt days.Googled operating instructions and set timer to come on half hour before starting.Not only does she start straight away now but also a lovely warm cab waiting for me!
you lucky git! wish i had one in each van!!! enjoy it!!!
does it heat the engine water or also feed a small tap for handwash too??
