I'm not sure about the 1.4 but the glow plugs in the 2.0 HDi won't pre-heat at all unless the temperature is below zero, and even then it's only for a split second unless it's like -10 or lower.

I have a similar problem with cold starts and replacing all the plugs has not made any difference. I'm starting to suspect it may be an injector issue. I'm getting a diagnostics kit (Lexia 3/PP2000), which will hopefully tell me something useful...
