it wont be the glow plugs they only help starting. . . . . . drain the water trap and re prime the fuel system first [could be a floating air lock. . . . .worth a try :) :) :)

can never understand the reluctance to change fuel filters. if you don't know when it was last replaced then it could be choked, any restriction will cause the lift pump to work harder to maintain adequate fuel flow increasing the chances of it sucking in air through dodgy seals/connections. there's no guarantee it's the cause of your judder but it' well worth a try.
