106 diesel starting problems ?

Q: my diesel won't start if it's really cold, it attempts to just won't actually kick in, glow plugs were changed about 6 months ago, i called the aa once and they started it immedialtly but wouldn't tell me how, just that my glow plugs were too cold ??? i wait for the light to go off stating that the plugs have heated up etc. any ideas ?? what is easy start/where can i get it from? battery seemed to be working fine until yesterday, i tried for about 20 mins to get car started and then battery died !! called breakdown ppl who said it was to do with glow plugs being too cold, opened bonnet and said try now, i did and it was fine, lil tricky to restart when i left work tho but it started on second attempt with a lot of smoke. tried this morning again for 20 mins and nothing, i can hear it try to start it just won't quite start. getting a new battery now breakdown person had no tools just a touch, and was instant, wish he could of told me how he did it, how expensive would a new relay be ? i have tried pumping the primer, doesn't help at all but i can hear tiny bubbles popping if that makes sense, tube isn't clear but guessing it sounds like a leak somewhere have had glow plugs and battery replaced so will try when i get home

A: heat the plugs a couple of more times , that may help, is your battery in good condition? if not when really cold will not turn over engine properly, carry a can of easy start for diesels, spray a bit into air box and the vapours will help ignite the diesel
