Hi  i have a little problem       and im looking for pointers !!                For my sins i  own a Ford galaxy 1.9tdi (1998)   and recently it has been hard to start  so i have put new heater plugs in it     and now she fires   and chuffs out loads of smoke (i guess unburnt diesel)   it eventually fires up but can take 20 mins to go                  i have also noticed air in the fuel system  ( guessing  a fractured fuel hose)   well i have now eliminated the air prob          but my prob still there     any one got any knowledge in these cars as to what it may be ?  
When i took out the heater plugs (glow plugs)       i noticed one was coated in oil           what would be the problem there  ??               It is my spare car  and only does about 2000 miles ayear                             Any thoughts welcomed      on this one          Many thanks Mark
