Fo sho? Take off stop solenoid feed and with ignition on it should click audibly when touched onto the solenoid.

Have you started running bio recently?

thanks for all the replies, sorry MGP, didn't mean to say man so peace brother and thanks OBG, AA put 80amp in because he wasn't sure so will get that changed over..
Kicking myself really because I assumed the glow plugs would be ok any way learnt a couple of tips from the AA so all is good.
He was a bit confused about the set up from the fuel filter and wasn't sure if the primer/pump was on the correct feed. Can anyone clarify if this is right. Also noticed a lot of air bubbles coming through the pipe.

The arrow on the rubber pump faces towards the filter and is the top pipe in picture 1
