Im not sure you have the same issue but it may help to know:
When my glow plugs were tiring and slowly going bad, I had similar experience. Disconnected that brown wire that runs 12v to the temp sensor at the back of the head near the pump, it solved the problem (system thinks your engine is dead cold and provides longer glowtime) till i got new glowplugs in.

Ohhh but that time i had hard starting ALSO when engine was cold. You dont have that so it must be something else.
I read it here that harder warm starts *may* indicate "lower than optimal" compression.But again,
If you just did the belts and timing recently then maybe rechecking the timing would be good. (Hopefully you never had hard warm starts before )
