Advance the injector pump. Check the plunger lift you will find it is at about 0.2mm adjust it to 0.8mm to 1.00mm. Had a few with same symptoms and they had spent heaps on new glow plugs injectors etc, nothing worked until advancing pump

Where is the plunger located on the pump? Sorry for the daft question...
will turning the pump away from the engine block be advancing it?
Where all the injector lines are at the back of the pump right in the middle of them the will be a bolt, remove the bolt, fit a small piece of rod in the hole and measure the lift with a dial gauge on the end of the rod. There is a tool that screws into where the bolt was removed but a small piece of rod works fine.
Yes turning away from block is advance (anti clockwise).
The pulley on the Cam is held on with 4 bolts and the holes are elongated, you can give it 1/4 to 1/2 tooth advance there quickly and adjust it correctly when you remove pump to do the 1 glow plug as the pulley on the pump can be difficult to remove.
I decided that i would just adjust the pump 1 tooth on the belt, i fired staright away, could not get the dial guage in and did not have timne to take off lines.
Will one tooth make a big difference?
too much advance is bad. Try 1/4 of a tooth. Loosen the 4 bolts on the cam pulley and turn the engine to advance. The holes in the cam pulley are elongated and you will be able to adjust a small amount. If it is still hard to start go 1/2
