Default xj vm problems

Hi guys my td XJ starts and runs for 5-10 seconds then shuts off only does it sometimes unplug the battery leave it for 5 minutes plug it back in right to go. Can't figure out what is causing this. Also have a suspected blown head not sure yet but the two rear cylinder glow plugs come out wet the front two dry and have a pretty large oil leak coming from around the manifold head area any suggestions please as I really want to keep the old girl running she is a great rig. Also starter spins but does not engage straight away it will free spin then click then she is engaged this is a new starter the old one did the same thing.

As I keep saying to my fellow yoda and nissan mates Jeeps are a solid offroad toy and I am willing to to keep pushing forward as I am handy with a spanner.
