With that in mind, do you have any problems with cold starting?

Also does the courtesy light work when the door is opened? If not, i'd have a look at that, might be a blown bulb, switched off at the light or the door pin switch or wherever the switch is on yours (possibly in the handle to trigger the courtesy light and glow plug relay at the time you lift the handle) and check that all works. Sometimes the ECUs depend on the bulb working as a pull-up resistor to the ECU and when the bulb is turned on by the door pin switch or similar going to earth, it pulls the ECU input low triggering the timing circuitry.

Not sure if that will apply to yours but many others work that way, reasonable to assume that as a good starting point, even if it's wrong you may uncover the problem anyway by investigating that.
Don't forget to clear the DTCs (codes) before testing each time or you won't know if you've found the fault.
No problem cold starting, to be fair its starts up on the button every time. Any conditions.

Is it in the door handle that triggers the glow plugs to fire up? I wonder if they (or not all) the glow plugs have been warming the engine as should.

Also, no issues with nterior lights. Lights come one when exiting the car and Im sure they come one when I remote unlock when getting in.
