Not 100% sure but most glow plug set ups have a timer / control unit as well as a relay, if so that might be the problem.

the relays have a relay in the fusebox (have a look in the maintnence section as theres some diagrams in there) but seriously you shouldnt have any air in a diesel  :shocked: check all the pipes to the injectors as these fail with age/diesel contanimation!
