You figured it out and then pasted over the problem! You stated it starts good with new glow plugs, but they quickly burn out. The problem is they do not shut off. The glow plugs should only be on for a few seconds, about 15 seconds at a time. The voltage has to be removed from them or they will burn up. They are not designed to have voltage at all times, only for short period to warm up the cylinder and fuel spray. In the fuse panel, there are tow relays, one is the starter relay, the other is the preheat relay. This relay can be stuck, keeping power to the glow plug circuit. That is what I would check. Find the power problem to the circuit, then replace the glow plugs and I think the problem will be solved. Let me know. Thank you.
