Yes ...  ... sorry I keep meaning to update, but it's been a crazy weekend (I work weekends). Thursday I tried everything, would not start even when it reached 60 degrees out ... felt like it was getting close, though. So I drove down to my mechanic in my other car to make sure it was OK to have Bodhi towed over there that afternoon. Well, he asked where I was having it towed from, and I told him it was only about half-mile away (I had just moved recently) ... he knew exactly where my apartment building is, so he just offered to come and get it at the end of the day. I left him with the key, and a few hours later, when I came down to leave for work (I live on the 14th floor), Bodhi was gone. 24 hours later, Bodhi reappeared in my parking lot, the key left with my doorman.  All fixed, and I'm assuming it was just the glow plugs. I have not had a chance to talk to my mechanic yet, as it was the weekend, but I'll find out tomorrow when I go to pay him. Nice guy ... he went out of his way to help, and got the car back to me without even discussing payment. He knows I'm good for it ...  .
Much thanks for all the help, guys. I'll give another update when I find out exactly what the situation was. I'm curious to know if ALL plugs were bad ... I think they really had to be, because it was SO stubborn.
