When the weather warms up usually to start first off it's the foot to the floor procedure. It will then start and start again 'on the button' .... unless, again, I stop for more than 20 mins and then again it a foot to the floor job to start.

My starting problem has absolutely no affect on the excellent running engine performance or consumption whilst driving.

So, back in the early summer I took Bob's advice and found that if I started on full throttle there was no issue with starting. Then one day I forgot to give her full throttle and she started first time with no gas and that is how I have been starting ever since.

Jump to today, this morning was cooler than it has been in a long time. She started for work first time with zero throttle, drove to work, I parked at work, switched off, then immediately needed to move her but she refused to restart with no gas or full throttle. I waited until break when she had cooled down and she started first time on full throttle. Back to the old problem again but I am now not sure I can even tie it down to seasons/temperatures?
