Mend Peugeot 306 HDI Reg Start

Peugeot 306 HDI Turbo 2 ltr Y reg won't cold start?

Above freezing temperatures, my 306 hdi starts, theres a bit of a knack to it, but it always starts. (the knack is, it i continuously crank it, it won't start, but if i give it quick bursts on the starter, it starts). The main problem is below freezing, i turn the ignition on, wait for the glow plug light to go out, turn the engine over, it bursts into life for one second, then won't restart. It will start eventually with a jump start, but it takes a lot of goes to get it going.

I've replaced the glow plugs and control unit, the previous owner replaced the injectors, a brown relay? and the temperature sensor, he also had the ecu remapped after a wire came off somewhere and shorted. He also checked the low pressure pump.

So , to recap, when it's warm it's starts first or second turn of the key, when cold it doesn't, any ideas please anyone?

1.0 Check that all glow plugs are working by removing them one by one and testing them on a battery out of the car.
2.0 Check that glow plug relay stayes on long enough to warm the glow plugs, there is a timer built in it, you should discover how long it stayes on by checking the circuit.
3.0 Check the glow plug relay.
Make sure the engine turns over at over 500 rpm.
4.0 Good luck
