I know for certain that the Vw LT35 that this 6 cylinder was also used in had a manual cable operated cold start, not a wax stat like Volvo...their the Vw dealers are no use to me.
This is why I was asking about keeping the glow plugs on - if I can do something like that and it costs me just the wire in my garage and time, then that write be my temporary solution until I find a good cold start.

you're right about the LT it's a cable with a red square attachment on the pump ! i forgot it i've bought one two months ago
I f you are in the UK you have this cold start device on the citroen xm and others brands it's not a volvo specific system i'm sure of that.
a rapid search on google will help you to see this system is not specific. "cold start device ve pump"
The d24 is not "rare" here in France i'm lucky for that.
you really need this cold start device it will help a lot.
you will can find it at the others dealers for sure
remember the thickness doesn't help too
if you plan on a glow plug homemade button use a relay 80 amps or 2 40 amps like you said from golf or VAG cars to power the glowplugs.
don't run a straight wire to the glowplugs in your car
or it could be dangerous.
