Answer
  You shouldn't need any type of starting aid unless the temperature is near freezing.  I'm not a Leyland expert, but I know they don't have glow plugs or a manifold heater.  Models with an inline injection pump have a button on the side of the pump that you push in for a cold start aid.  Rotary pumps do not have it.  Some models have an ether injection system.
