Also, it does start a little rougher than it used to. I replaced all of the glow plugs at the same time as this work and usually after a GP replacement it starts right up when the light goes off (after just a few seconds). Now I need to wait until the SRS light goes off (about 3x as long) or it starts pretty rough (acts like a plug is out).
What is "nailing" exactly? I realize that a sound file is pretty hard to diagnose but do you hear it here? I have seen causes for nailing (retarded or advanced IP timing, fuel leaks, etc.) on the forum but I don't know what it sounds like or what the result is to the engine over a long period of time.

Sound file doesn't work for me, either.
If anything your timing is RIGHT now per mb/bosch performance specs and delivery/pop pressures.
New glow plugs can fail, too.
