Another thought. Have you ever cleaned the filter on the lift pump in the fuel tank?

ive been told by a vauxhall man that it does not have a lift pump in tank ? thanks ill look into it

I would have a look under the boot carpet for a circular access plate held by four screws.
I'll be surprised if the 2.2 doesn't have one but then mine's a 2.5

test the glow plugs are getting 12v for the appropriate time.(30 secs min cold).

will do mate, where do you get the idea of 30secs glow plug time as im pretty sure they dont stay on that long cheers

the plugs should continue to heat according to the temp of the engine.
the dash light does not generally continue for the same period as the plugs.

they take at least 5 secs to fully heat let alone warm the combustion pocket chamber air.

once started, they stay lit for a short period.

the atual time of glow needs to be measured to rule out glow plug relay.
