Welcome aboard.
Just went out and looked at one of my diesels to confirm what I remembered about the pre-filter and air bubble. Right or wrong, it has had an air bubble at the top since I have owned it. Runs good. Of course someone may come on and say there shouldn't be one then I'll have to check mine too.
I believe the test for the glowplugs would be resistance. When you went to start it, did you have a glowplug light showing on the dash (yellow on my two)? After they go out I usually wait a total of 30 seconds before engaging the starter. Did it turn over at a reasonable rate?
