E91 330d wont start

Help! im a newbie to this forum and thought i'd seek some advice. My 330d has been off the road for some time due to a non starting issue. I have run DIS and its flagging up an issue with the glow plugs - all six flagging up an issue. I have replaced the Glow plug control module this evening and no change. I cleared the faults in the DDE and same faults reappeared. Question - if the glow plugs are now working would the engine still fire - I assume yes but need some guidance on this. Next step will be to replace the glow plugs but not sure if this is the problem so keen to do some testing first. The fuel pump is working so CAS is working properly - I think! Ideas please. Thanks for reading. Brent

Got a list off all the faults with the vehicle?

If you've replaced the controller and all the plugs are still out then you'll need them replaced...

First check if starter is fine, also look for any faults with cas-dde sync.

Garage List
In the past I've found that a burned out glow plug will often be followed in quick succession by the others, maybe they get more load when one has failed. But in this current weather, shouldn't the car start anyhow?
