Plug it onto a spare Glow plug (a new one preferably that you know will work)and see if it glows orange if the plug doesnt glow then your Plug charger needs some charging up 
If you dont have a spare glow plug( you really should carry spare ones) remove the one from the engine check the coil is intact on it and attach your charger.........
