I say all that ,thinking gee why own this and where will i get key parts that fail now or later, I'd sell it fast.
and last Maxus

LDV subsequently acquired the exclusive rights to the van from General Motors, who had taken over Daewoo, and purchased the existing tooling and shipped it all to Birmingham from the Daewoo Plant in Poland where the van was originally intended to be built.[15] The Maxus was fitted with direct injection, common rail, diesel engines supplied by VM Motori.and now FIAT owns VM 2011
(get parts from FIAT ?)

so guess the engine VM.

Check for a bad earth and read any OBD codes to gain any clues.

Check the glow plugs

Please re post this in the car and truck area as this is listed in the DVD area.

Battery condition? I used to "cycle" the glow system two or three times before cranking. In other words when glow finishes, turn key off then start the glow cycle again. Get a crankcase or block heater. To warm up or "keep" warm. Glow almost never fails.
But it's possible the Glow timer or connections are going.
There are "Cetane" improvers that may improve cold starting. Quality of fuel you are getting? Last time Filter was changed? Really cold? and stuck. Only for emergency, not recommended. Ether cold start spray can. Spray into the air intake. You may need to open Air filter passage to spray. I knew a farmer who had an automatic ether system. Blue up the engine from over speed. So that is why you need to be careful!
