U should check for a coolant leak just above the starting motor, it makes its way into the motor gumming every thing up ,coolant leak is usually from the thermostat housing.
Have same problem am looking at trying head temp sensor as REKON its sending wrong signal, so brain not telling you to wait (GP light staying on longer) and poss different fuel delivery becase cold,
have tested power at plugs an although GP light goes out the relay stayed active so its not the relay in my case anyway
will let you know how i get on please do same :)

yes well the thermostat housing was leaking and i have fixed the leak. SO i expect the motor is gummed up. However do you know what controls, the timing on the glow plugs?As they only stay on for about two seconds!
ive fitted a new starter motor and the car starts much better. I coud not believe the difference. Ford calibrated the injectors and updated the software. But the starter motor cured it. However the car is not very economical. It doesnt seem to get as much miles to the tank as it did last summer. 60 miles difference to a tank? any idea ?
