Was it turning over but not firing? Could be the immobilser ring or battery isn't powerful enough.

Definitely odd that you had to wait for the pre heat light... Mine nearly never comes on :\ I'd definitely say battery or something similar!

If you say you had to wait for the glow plug light, that would also mean that you are giving the fuel pump more time. Try checking the diesel filter and bleeding the fuel system as well.

Why?
Nothing wrong with Sainsburys fuel, they buy it from oil companies. It's either Shell or Texaco, can't remember which

Infact its BP fuel, just looked at their accounts.
Check the voltage on the battery and the alternator output.
Probably just one of them things
