BTW did it ever had a glowplug bypass? An uncle of mine did it in a Suzuki Vitara repowered with a Volkswagen 1.6D engine he used to own, having to press a button to control the glowplugs at every cold start instead of switching it to operate automatically.
It's still on the original glowplugs circuit - seems to start happily enough given a couple of pre-heat cycles on cold days
