Still a bit hard to guess at. If its hard to start in the morning first time, but then ok for the rest of the day its probably glows as you suggest. If its hard the first time and then only normal for a short time after shut down, its more likely to be the fuel going back down the line, maybe and air leak or faulty fuel pump. From your description of the problem, I'm guessing fuel or fuel pump issue.
@Yendor may know the voltage in the rail, but I don't think its glows.

Thanks mate, will look into it.
