How cold is "bitter cold"? Your car should start easily down to at least 0F and
probably colder than that.
A dead glowplug would make the car idle poorly until it warmed up a little,
you'd basically have a dead hole for awhile.

I don't have any starting problems EXCEPT when it is bitter cold, and I suspect
that problem is caused by a faulty block heater. I do have a low idling
problem at ignition, which I have yet to address but it has nothing to do with
GPs or injectors.

Maybe that explains the starting problems you've been having. I've had to
replace glow plugs in every MB I've ever had.I've only been driving MBs since
2003 but I've put on close 300,000 miles, 90k each on the '83 240D and '85
190D, more like 50,000 miles each on the '78 240D and '84 190D.
I had injectors cleaned on the '84, it helped it idle more quietly but didn't
fix the rough starting problem it had, I think that was probably leaking rubber
hoses.

I've driven 123 turbodiesels continuously since 1989 for over 100 K miles
cumulatively and can't recall ever replacing either injectors or glow
plugs. Just the GP relay and fuse.
