Right, so you're not far away!

Before going any further, how much fuel is there in the tank?

Just went outside in the pouring rain, turned the key and it jumped into life.
Could it be something to do with the frosty weather.
Any ideas?

I'm inclined to suggest changing the glow plugs. ;)

I've fitted NGK's to the TDs that I maintain with no problems. Beru are also fine.
IIRC they were around 7 quid each.

Do you want me to get a price for them tomorrow?

Whatever you decide, do not fit the cheapo plugs that you find advertised on certain internet sites. >:(

As you've now got a brand-new battery, (so the engine's positively whizzing over), slacken one of the injector pipes at the injector end.
Get someone in the car, and try starting it, whilst you stand well back. You should see good squirts of fuel where you've slackened the injector pipe nut, as the engine's being cranked over.

Have you done a compression test ?

Could also be its mechanical fuel pump
