Does the TD6 have a engine driven HP pump?? i think it doesn't as it is a common rail engine! But I could be wrong!
its only td4 with 6 cylinders,common rails have high pressure pump ,just not a distributor pump as earlier engines,which means they dont need timing to engine, td5 is different in that it has unit injectors and so no high pressure pump but injectors produce 1500 bar
 
Quote from manual -
High Pressure Fuel Pump
The high pressure fuel pump supplies fuel to the fuel rail and is fixed to a flange on the front LH side of the cylinder block. The pump is a 3 radial piston type controlled by the EDC engine management system and chain driven from the crankshaft at 0.75 times engine speed.
For more information on the EDC operation, refer to the Engine Management – Td6 section of this workbook.
 
I don't even have a clue why I have a dirty diesel PDF on my computer. I have no intention of ever owning one, but I guess it's usefully at times.

Surely these are all low pressure faults. ??

Just checked leads to glow plugs 2.26 volts does the glow plug timer relay only push 12 volt when engine really cold.

As I noted somewhere it said when cold the words pre- heating display on dash. Have only ever seen that once. Seen std glow coil symbol come in and off for about 1 second but only ever seen the words preheat once and that was when it was bitterly cold
 
Going out on a limb but on the BMW x5 diesel ( same engine and era) the pre heater (webasto fuel burning heater kicks in at 5c or below to speed up engine warming. I assume it wasn't that cold and looking at all those can faults I am saying you have an electrical issue. Bad earth, water ingress, battery, alternator or other.
