Hi all. I have a 98 Diesel Prado. It has recently been having trouble starting. It starts, but takes a while. I have replaced the glow plugs, fuel filter, and the starter and battery are fine. What could be the problem?

Any help is appreciated  Laughing

yeah or air leak
   sometimes if you got an air leak when the vehicles stopped say overnight the fuel can partially drain back to the tank ;means you got to bleed the system on the starter every morning....
or bad compression; on a depressing note.....
 more likely to be a fuel fault though
