As above in subject, does this every time now. Takes about 5 seconds of turning over before car catches and starts, Runs fine after that. Well after a few minutes when car is warmed up.
Any ideas please?

When you go for a start turn the ignition on and wait for 5 secs or so (listen for fuel pump noise to reduce indicating fuel system is up to pressure) then try starting. This may not be answer but it sounds like a lack of fuel, this may be due to dud temp sensor kidding the ECU to have the wrong start conditions.

Cheers guys, if i turn the key on and off a few times so its primed the system a few times it starts a lot better. Still not as well as it should do though.
