Default transit connect problem

18tdci 90ps 97k.
The last couple of days, its been harder to start on a morning.
just been turning, then it pulls diesel through and runs like a dream (hardly no smoke)
but its now getting worse.I was on 20 min this morning cracking injectors off trying to bleed it.
once i got it going it was running ok considering.

When driving and i take it all the way to the rev limit, the van feels like its surging/holding back.
Also if i switch it off (for 1 min)then go to fire it up, it still turns over quite a bit before it fires.
and the glow plug light came on today on m/way and the van wouldnt go above 50mph
a quick on/off with ignition got rid of it.

there is no visible signs of a leak in the diesel pipes. anything else should i be looking at before i start changing injectors and pumps.

Cheers.
