This can be a symptom of a number of different faults. Glow plugs are controlled and left on by the ECU, even once the engine is running. The glow lamp on the dash will give you an idea of time so that if you wait for it to go out, you'll let the plugs get hot. It bears no relation to whether...

Am I right in thinking the two shafts either side of the unit are constantly at different speeds by design- so the unit is actively trying to iron out the mismatch of revs. Quite what you can upgrade or change this to- I've not heard of anything? Is it a mechanical diff. Unit of sorts?

Get your battery checked. The gearbox ecu is particularly susceptible to voltage drop on startup, and will go to limp mode if it drops below about 10.x volts ( I think). Also can be a couple of other faults, but battery first port of call. Take a search around to as there's plenty written on it.
