WOW. Nine times out of ten it's the starter solenoid, not the starter motor.---Cheap and easy to change.

The glow plugs are not needed to start the engine unless it's really well below zero degrees.

The pump and camshaft signals were irrelevant as the engine is now running OK.

Sorry but you have seemed to paid a lot when more than likely it should have been a little except for maybe the starter motor complete. ( It would be very easy to see if the motor itself was dead rather than the solenoid in a less than 5 minutes inspection. )---
