Have you got a fuel leak/fuel bleeding back to the tank?
Edit: Could also be faulty glow plug(s).

Air leaking into the system or lift pump not working right.

I suppose you could leave it for as long as you can, then while cranking crack off an injector, if you've got diesel there right away then you can rule out bleed back.
Might be worth testing your glow plugs before you buy some new ones too.
