pug 106 diesel - internet diagnosis!
Right,
Its a 1994 106 1.5 non-turbo diesel.
Has problems starting (cranks quickly and eventually fires), much worse when cold.
So far has had 4 glow plugs and the relay/timer/ecu.
Other information includes the Rad has recently (6months ago) was replaced and now the heater matrix is leaking.
What do you think it is??!!

I presume you've actually checked you are getting a voltage at the glowplugs??
Other than that you've got to be thinking a lack of compression somewhere headgasket, rings or perhaps injector fault??

Yes they get voltage - but not tested current draw or seen them glow.
If it was a inj fault then I would have though the problem wont affect all starts not just cold, and also affect the running (it runs fine when going).

Put a 12v supply to the plugs prior to starting to see if it helps first, if it does you know you have a bad connection somewhere.
Have you drained the water off from the fuel filter head ?, just up the fuel pressure a bit, and use a CAV filter.
Stick a can of MILLERS diesel cleaner in there works wonders, did on my escort.

So thats the poor starting and fast cranking explained.
Head/gasket looks fine - so the blown rad and leaky matrix could just be coincidence.
