Now the cold weather is here again the car does not want to start, i have changed the glow plugs but that did not help, now it only just turns over which in turn deadens the battery? Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Check the glow plug relay: do the plugs heat up?
Check for air in the fuel system: pump the rubber bulb.

Pretty darn cold last night, my bet is a new battery would sort it.

"now it only just turns over "
I'd put money on the battery also

Inlet valve clearances closed up leading to compression loss, therefore cold start heat is low, hence the non start.
