Well, first in the four speeds on the column is good to get you rolling,
but not much more. When starting out from a stop sign and making a turn,
the first shift point on a diesel was as soon as you are in the
intersection and turning. It took some coordination to make that shift in
a turn.

Are you sure about that? I was sure that I was told the 115 is old enough that
it is only a 3 speed. So far as I am
aware, it only shifts twice and the gear it starts in is fairly low. I doubt
there is a gear below that.

Before replacing the glow plugs have the valves adjusted, particularly if
you don't have any records for the car prior to your ownership that indicate
when they were last adjusted. This needs to be done once a year,
regardless, and it will make a HUGE difference in ease of starting.

Plugging in the block heater to make the engine start points to two
possible problems.
The heating of the engine by the block heater is enough to cause the
fuel to vaporize faster, makes the fuel warmer, taking a major burden
off the glow plugs to start the engine I would remove the glow
I also wondered about valve adjustment etc.
Absolutely check the valves. When they're too tight, once the
temperature drops to a certain point it's like a light switch gets
flipped off. That point is where a valve start to hang open even
just a little bit. That kills the compression, just whe
