Hi there,

the lack of a glow indication with a warm engine will not be the real issue here, the glow plugs will only operate for a few seconds if that with a warm engine, there is a temp sensor that is part of the glow system that controls glow duration. Warm diesels don't need glowing to start, if there is a warm start up problem it will be in the fuel delivery system or a low comp problem, i would have the pump inspected and a comp test done first.
