Hi, recently I've been sat in my car trying to start the engine which for some reason is taking a lot of turning over before it finally coughs into action, and I'm always just making it before my batteries konk out. I can't continue like this. Does anyone have any thoughts of what it might be?

hi and welcome to the forum.
I would say that your glowplugs may need changing.This sounds like the same symptoms a few of us had this time last year and the new glowplugs solved the problem.It will be due to the colder weather now coming in and the plugs not heating proper.
Also check the 80a fuse in the box under the bonnet and the glowplug relay aswellhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/henpals/

Is your digital clock working, silly question but it seems to be tied into the same circuit that drives the glowplugs driver...
I blew the fuse whilst overloading the cig lighter, (same fuse) no glow plug light. hard to start...lots of cranking
replaced fuse all back to normal__________________
