Simple check to see if the glow plugs are getting a feed, connect your voltmeter +ve probe to the bus bar on the glow plugs and -ve lead to a good earth and switch the ignition on. It should read battery voltage for a few seconds. That will test the relay and its contacts because the existing glow plugs should give it some load, even if they're weak.
When you renewed the fuel filter, did you fill it full of fresh diesel before fitting it? If not, the IP (injection pump) won't be getting any fuel as there isn't a lift pump on these, so i've been told. Also a common problem on Bosch VE pumps is the engine cut solenoid. They fail usually in the open position meaning you have to stall the engine after switching the ignition off. However they have been known to stick in the shut position, especially if they haven't been used for a while. Worth checking. I believe later models had a different fly-by-wire set-up and the stop solenoid wasn't so unreliable. Single wire to it on the side of the pump. If you remove the connector and run a wire from battery +ve to the terminal, you should hear the solenoid click if it's working, if not undo it with a spanner (19mm rings a bell but might be wrong), remove it and check the plunger is free to move in and out. If not, clean it with some carb cleaner until it does. Refit and test after making sure you've got fuel in the pump.

These are self bleeding, if you filled the filter with fresh diesel it should fire right up. If you didn’t, it will take a LOT of cranking to refill it and prime the system, and probably flatten the battery before it starts. They also won’t start without working glow plugs, ever. The fobs ARE for remote locking and for the immobiliser, but as long as the immobiliser wasn’t set in the first place (as seems likely if the fobs don’t have batteries) it should start ok

They're meant to be, but as mentioned I've had one which didn't self prime. Presumably the pump was a little tired...
