Hi ive had start up issues,     never related it to battery,     as its new   2 month old.     Had   mobile  auto  out to find fault.    he started up strait away,     says battery not enough power.      Im a window cleaner  so drive to place of work.   park up.  30 mins later ill move on  to park up again.     daily local.      Any suggestions regarding battery issue in my situation.      Any heavy duty batteries  that i would be better off .   this is the first time the van has gone like this in 8 years  in the same daily routine.
ive just had it out for a drive and leave engine running to see if it will start up in morning

hi all , getting worried as van is for my work.     Had issues starting up in these cold mornings.     firstly battery ok, new    Put key in  Turns over but  does not rev / crank up to start up.    it sounds the longer you leave key turned on it sounds like its draining the battery.   it will start up after a good few try,s.         Once it is running and  left to rev for a while   it is ok.      you can turn it off and start it up again with no problem 

Been mentioned the Glow Plugs may be main reason.     Some garages will not do this replacement job.     too awkward for them .    any ideas  if not glow plugs.    one garage said to get to them  will be a job in itself to test them.
