Glow plugs are probly geting tired. The glow plug timers sometime crap out on these as well but check the plug out first.

na it would be hard to start, blow heaps of white/blue smoke until it was warmed up, then it would run fine.
eventually it just got too hard to start and leaked like a siv

White smoke is either unburnt diesel or water/coolant. I would check your glowplugs and see what they look like. I have the same problem with my 1kz. Recently rebuilt but still won't start when its cold. Give it a glow and it will fire right up. My glowplugs are currently disconnected as the ecu timer shat itself. I need to find time to hook them back up. Unlike vehicles like landcruisers etc which are direct injection, it looks like your and mine are indirect which means you need glowplugs to get them going straight away.

I have just installed new glowplugs yesterday morning and it started good. This morning when I went to start it again it did not start. Now my glowplugs are shot to shit again. Could that be that the glow timer is the problem?

These couriers keep the glow plugs turned on until the engine is up to about 60 degrees, and this makes them very hard on glow plugs. The only plugs that last are the genuine ceramic ones. Bosch also do a specific plug for them but the best I have gotten out of them is about 1 year.
Check to make sure the engine is getting up to temp and maybe replace the coolant temp sensor for the timer.

No glow timer output is one of the symptoms of leaking caps in the ecu. May be time to get it out for a look.

Do you know the part number for the Bosch Glow Plugs (Mazda Bounty 2004) and the best place to get them? Cheers
