Re: roof rack rails
Why not put the rails across the canopy (perpendicular to the vehicle long axis), rather than along the canopy? That way you can secure them to the cross braces with through bolts rather than to the edge.

Re: Mk 4 won't start LN165
The LN165 is either the 2L-T or one of the 2L/3L/5L family of diesel engines. As far as I know, they all use a manual diesel pump, not electronic. The only electric part is the solenoid valve on the diesel pump. I'd start with that.
