2.5CRD voyager starting probs another 1

As it's a CRD (common rail diesel) you are right. The old indirect injection diesels were a pig to start if even one of the glowplugs was o/c., but direct injector common rail is much easier. However, ease of starting varies with the maker and his design.
However, I'd still check that +12volt appears on the injectors during the yellow coil icon on dashboard, and that all glowplugs were OK. You do this by unhooking the connector on the plugtip, and check with your heavy current testlamp (old car headlamp with wires soldered on) between battery +ve. and plugtip -- you should get a fairly bright light, equal for all four. The plugs draw a big current.
If you find one or more are o/c., best replace with gen. Bosch.
Hope this helps...

yep apparently the valve at the end of the rail was faulty
