TIming belt job needs to be done every 60k miles.

Glow plugs and harness, along with glow plug relay and glow plug control module.

Should have started a new thread if you wanted your ? answered but its ok. If the injector pump was moved then injector timing needs to be set- incorrect pump timing will give huge power loss.
