my 2.0tdi seems to take a lifetime to fire up compared to the 1.9 i had

strange as this does not happen if the weather is hot.

sounds like something related to fuel temp


any ideas
 
My thing has started being a bit of a pain too.
It used to start at the merest turn of the key.
Now it needs to turn over a few times,like a reluctant petrol car.
It's also started 'missing' and 'stuttering' when cold,on a constant (light) throttle too.
Whilst the former could be the glowplugs,I don't know what the latter could be ?
