Car takes ages to start in the cold weather or fails to start altogether??

One or more of your injectors are leaking.

Unclip the soft/rubber return pipes from on top of each of the injectors and pipe them off into 5 seperate containers. Halfords do a kit for this.

If one of the containers starts to fill up rapidly (much more than the others) then that injector is shot!

If the car won't start in very cold weather then a quick way to get it started is to take off the engine cover and poor boiling hot water directly on to the injectors to warm them up. The car should then start.

Worked for me for two weeks until I had the number 2 injector replaced.
