It's a 94 manual so no EDC, solved the prob and was not heater plugs (although I've replaced them with NGK @£8 each). Basically the fuel had drained back into the tank overnight, a local Landy guy said I needed to replace the filter head. So trotted off to the scrappy and paid £10 for a used...

Lol. Sunny Chesterfield Derbyshire here. But ambient temp does affect biodiesel, I've noticed me "proper" butters gone hard in last week or so there's a drop in ambient temp.
I will post what happens when I fit the new heater plugs.

Thanks for the input, given the price of glowplugs I'm gunna drop some in and see what happens. One thing I did not mention was that I run 100% biodiesel all year round and it normally just fires instantly. I make my own diesel so I'm confident in it but maybe I've left it a little late in the...

you would get more of an increase in MPG by having some ju-ju beads hanging from the rear view mirror....always parking the car facing the east and having the interior altered by a feng-shui expert..........

try powering the glow plugs direct from the battery first thing in the morning when the engine is fully cold and see how it starts up....10-15 seconds of direct power then turn key......... IF it starts properly with NO white smoke then you then know they glow plug relays faulty.

Have you considered...if the relays clicking in and out and the cars starting.... but no light on dash that it may simply be the bulbs failed in the dash ?
