That is nonsense, they are there for a reason, and starting a cold engine without using them will only accelerate engine wear...
Just becasue it will start without Glow-plugs, it doesn't mean yuo should start it without glowplugs...

Disco Matt:
Must admit I've always been a bit puzzled by the people saying that the 200 and 300TDI don't need glow plugs - LR would hardly have gone to the effort of fitting them if they weren't needed. I suspect they're unnecessary in summer but for the coldest days of the year they're the difference between starting first turn and churning away for a few seconds.
