    Glow plugs?

    Car down the road is hard to start in the cold, lots of white smoke. When it gets warmer, in minutes, smoke goes, and runs fine. Driver thinks it is the glow plugs. Is it?

    TD5?

    Not glow plugs.

    Probably leaking Injector seals, but could be a hundred different things.

    Even if not the glowplugs are the problem it's good to have them in working order for the sake of your engine, if you can unplug them and measure resistance across it's tip and head you can see which one is shot cos it must be very close to 0.9 Ohm if it's OK

    "Is the air filter inlet tract in good condition?"

    If "yes" then you've found the problem?

    The car will smoke if it is in good condition?

    Hilarious!!

    Personally I think it's most likely injector seals.
