I've had the metal fuse strip blow before, be sure and check it first since it is easiest. Next up check out the glow plug relay. I forgot how to check it properly; just type in "glow plug relay" under the search engine on this forum and you will get plenty of threads on how to do it. By the way, running the starter for as long you did might burn it up. I'd say changing out starters is one of my least favorite jobs so I do everything I can to protect it. Speaking of which, I need to buy a new battery for the car to keep the starter happy.......
To me it sounds like it is one or the other of these two that is causing your problems.
