My car has a turn valve, like you might see in home plumbing, to turn off

Yes the glow plugs can stay on sometimes the light stays on and sometimes it
doesn't.
To check that all you need to do is run a wire to a glowplug and connect the
wire to a 12 volt lamp that has a ground. You can tape it to a wiper arm.
Another thing you need to check is alt belt tension.
Now that I think of it, the 3 digit paint code is lower left (front of
car) of the ID plate that's next to the hood latch. No need for a
datacard.

From experience, the most common cause for an occasional dead battery is
a bad / dirty battery cable connection. Even resistance as low as 1/2
ohm will limit your battery charge current to far below what the
alternator can put out.
