Thanks for the detailed reply GtiGld and Brackie,
I replaced the glow plugs yesterday and this morning the car started!! I tested the old plugs and 1 was faulty. Enough to require a roll start down the nearest hill every morning. My neighbours must think that im nuts.
Next on the list is to roadwothy the 2 GLD's that cost $125 each (and they look it too). We will register one and sell the other. One needs a replacement short motor (which we have) and the other needs a head gasket (and hopefully not a new head)
Also I am planning a WVO conversion as we have excellent access to top quality used oil. THis will reduce the need to process all the oil we recieve. Will still use BD in the main thank though.
I just love these cars!!
