Found out on mine that it was 1 - the glow plug wiring chain had rotted, leaving on all glow plugs not enough current. Made a new one - 1.4D can flatten and use 15mm copper pipe drilled accordingly, for 1.5D use 3mm copper solar panel cable and copper eyelet soldered and crimped, cheaper than the £15+ for a new one. 2 - does the heater circuit cut in and out - light on dash and audible clicks. 1.4D uses a different heater charger to 1.5D so get the right one. You can feel if air is in the latter part of the diesel circuit from squeezing the primer bulb until firm before cranking/turnover. Finally check the glowplugs for wetting - if wet either the heating circuit ineffective or injector pintles have blocked. If your head gasket has blown it will still start, just sound bad. Drove mine from Bristol to Plymouth. He’s probably fixed it by now it’s an 11 year old thread 🤣🤣🤣

For anybody in future who Google's this thread up again with the same problems - the inlet valves will have stretched and closed the clearances up. Whack a set of thinner shims in and it'll fix it.
