I keep getting the following error codes

4212 glow plug activation
4222 glow plug activation
4232 glow plug activation
4242 glow plug activation

Now the weather has turned colder it is becoming harder to start, it also ticks over roughly for a about a minute after starting from cold.

Today after starting I had the DDE light come on briefly.

Any one know what could be causing this issue?

Once warm it starts and runs fine

Sounds like the glow plugs have all failed which will means it will be 'lumpy' until it warms up a bit once running.
