TriX5 is on a distinguished road
Yesterday I had a look with new flashlight that reaches into the space under the manifold. The glow plug module can probably be removed as per the YouTube video posted on another thread. I just need to get a few tools that would enable reaching in there. That puts the swirl flap question off for a bit.

First try would probably be to see if the electrical connection is fouled. It revived a few times on a cold start up so there is some hope. Unfortunately reaching in there is an ugly business that should be only undertaken with a good supply of paper towels....
