My car (1.4 hdi) has become very hard to start the last few days. Is there any known problems with the model?

Everyone always says you dont need glowplugs when it warm. My car wouldn't start for ages. Found out it was the glowplug relay. Starts great now. So yes you still need glowplugs to start . Even if it is warm
