Check the glow plugs first. There may be one that has failed.
Use a test light
1. Remove the wire from the glow plug.
2. Attach one end of the test light to the POSITIVE terminal on the battery.
3. Touch the other end to the terminal end of the glow plug.
4. If the test light illuminates, then the glow plug is OK
I'm sure a set of glow plugs for your Bens, will cost over a $100

Just check that the ones there are good. It's very easy to do. Remove the wires from all the glowplugs. Using an ohm meter, touch one lead to the threaded end of the glowplug and the other end to a metal engine part. If the meter shows OL, the glow plug is burned out. If it shows 0 ohms it is shorted and in both cases needs to be replaced. Anything other than those two readings indicates a good glowplug.

Yeah,probably will help. Replacing 1 or 2 at a time is like replacing 1 or 2 spark plugs at a time. You can do it that way but you will be back again at a later date. Unfortunately they cost more than spark plugs but "oh well". I would recommend a compression check first .
