After 1-2 minutes I'm thinking maybe a delivery valve seal, but thats a WAG.
Not sure. I heard up to 3 minutes I think depending on temperature.

Not rough at all, just a single blown stroke every few seconds, so several (say 20-30, maybe more than 50) full revolutions between each miss. Definitely not on each full cycle of the cam/IP.

I can get a rough start (like there's a bad glow plug) if i do the following

1. Drive car around up to and at operating temp
2. Let car sit for an hour or two to let temp drop to around 60C
3. Restart - here it shakes a lot for about 5-10 seconds...like an injector isn't squirting or a glow plug is dead.
