failed start

cardiff_gareth:
just been out to the disco to start her up as she's not been used today and its our first 'cold spell'
turns the key, starts for about half a second and stalls
tries again with a little throttle and again half a second and she stalls
3rd time and she starts, bit ropey and chuggy but after about 20 seconds she purring away.
never done this before as its been warmer weather so do you think it could be the glow plugs :?:

L90OOK:
Are you running on veg oil?

cardiff_gareth:
no, 100% derv

karlo:
Could be glow plugs or possible air in fuel system (maybe weak lift pump) but i would change the glow plugs if they have been in a while.
