Speedy,
I doubt you have a problem other than a bad battery. I recently needed to get my 603 going on a cool (55 degree) day without benefit of glow plugs. I cranked 3 full one minute intervals with a 30 sec. cooldown in between without any apparant damage to my starter. You can crank for quite a while but be sure to let it cool down periodically if you do. By the way, my car started. Useful to know if you ever blow the glowplug fuse like I did.
