My W123 hits instantly with never more than a 30 second glow....and that being sometimes in below freezing temps.....if it takes a lot of effort you need to find out why....either have a glow plug or more bad or maladjusted valves or low compression......
And example is my parts car that I got off DCulkin last winter started on jumper cables (battery would not hold a charge at all) in 10 degree F temps on the third revolution after a single glow cycle...This car was dragged out of a field the previous day where it sat in mud up to it rocker panels for the previous two years....it ran smooth and didn't even smoke....(had two year old diesel in it.)
