Recently after changing the glow plugs which cured the major starting problem I now find that when cold it will start up for a second and cut out again, perhaps two or three times and then run properly, any suggestiosn please thanks

Are you leaving it long enough with the inginition on before you try and start it just a thought.

Try giving it 15-20 seconds on the glow plugs or until you hear the relay drop out or see the panel lights increase in brightness. If it still does it I would suggest that you have air getting into the fuel system, check the injector leak off pipes, you may have disturbed them doing the glow plugs.
