Went out to start car this mornin and it wouldnt fire. Kept turnin over with white smoke coming out the bak.
So got a wire, put i to + on the battery and held it to a heater plug for bout 15 seconds and it fired then. This would signal that its not heatin but the plugs are fine.
What most likely would it be? Heater solinoid?

Get someone to switch the ignition on and see if you can hear the glow plug Relay click on then off again after about 15 seconds.

Yeah did that now and tested the plugs with a 12v light tester an they are gettin power.
Maybe the plugs are just f*cked and are takin 2 long to glow?
May just change them.

Could be that you have had 1 plug down for a while and a second has just failed causing the none starting. Worth changing them anyway for what they cost, plus winter is looming.
