Hi, Could anybody tell me whether intermittent stating problems (ie somtimes starts first time and somtimes, especially when left overnight, takes many attempts ) is most lightly due to knackered glow plugs. Many thanks in advance.Diesel 1.6 1985.

Yes.
Especially if she puffing out white smoke (unburnt fuel) when trying to start.
