Hi, my car seems be struggling a bit to start up, when i turn the key it usually tries to turn over once or twice before it actually starts. Does it sound like it is worth changing my plugs?
Cheers.
 
This happened to my car literally last week, N8 scanned and it came back with no errors.... got a battery charge checked, was completly fubar.

Replaced the battery with a new one with more power Bosch S4 - Cars been fine since if not better!!! :)
 
I have the same problem mate,when the weather is hot then the car start fine. I have scanned the car with vcd and it came back with 2 glow plugs error. I had them replaced but the car still taking 4-5 seconds to start so I don't known what is wrong with the car. I haven't test my battery yet but it may be worth to try:)) Let me known how it goes on your car :)
 
Check battery first.

If battery ok then likely culprit is starter motor a common reason for slow hot starting.
