Cold start and white smoke problems with Toyota Landcruiser

I own a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser with a 3-liter D4D diesel engine and 193,000 km on the odometer. Recently, I've been having problems with cold starts: The engine starts poorly, runs roughly, and white smoke is emitted. Has anyone had similar experiences or can offer advice on solving this problem?

Check the glow plugs first, as they are crucial for cold starts. If they're faulty, they might not be heating the cylinders properly, leading to rough starts and white smoke. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
