Hi all
I have recently replaced my glow plug controller not the plugs, it was starting ok before but as the cold weather was approaching I thought I  would start there as the light wasn't coming on on the dash, all good now, but when I start the car now it seems to splutter and I get a lot of smoke, question do I have A injector or two peeking or could it be something else and how do I check them, ie do a leek test would that show up the problem, all so do I have a cold start valve ??

Could be a faulty glow plug.  Very good chance that if the controller was shot, the plugs will have caused it.

Ahh will have to order a set, thanks for that it runs great once the smoke has gone
