Went out this morning, scraped the global warming off the screen and then tried to start the car.
No joy, turned out that two plugs were faulty. NGK 924 plugs . . . they're not the most reliable b ut they seem to be the only ones motor factors stock.
Has anyone got any other brands they'd recommend?
There's only one thing I can think is a positive for NGK plugs: They don't get chance to rust into your head.

Beru are what I always use, oem afaik, others like Bosch duraterms which I'm sure are good too but usually a bit more expensive

NGK glow plugs are shit, loads of people have issues with them.
Fit the OEM Beru or Bosch alternatives and no more worries.

As people say, Bosch duraterms work great, starts on the button always after 1 cycle
