My diesel Toyota van wouldn't start this morning (it was only 1 degree).  Started fine later on when the weather warmed up.
I suspect the glowplugs are rooted.  How much do they cost to replace and it is a simple job or one best left to a mechanic?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is an Aus standard for the dimensions of kerbside
