It still starts without, just takes forever and smokes like a bitch for a bit, the PD was the same, I know theoretically they don't need them though that doesn't seem to be the case with every one. The HDi is the only common rail I've had that starts fine without glowplugs at any temp....one of the few redeeming features of them lol.
Don't know if this will be any help, but this is a normal cold start with glowplugs lol.... I think its just a shit starter motor, but something doesn't sund right just as it catches, and I think that's the same 'clatter(?)' noise that happened earlier, not totally sure though.
