Well, speaking of problems...
The car (as mentioned before) always takes a while to start. Although it hasn't been worrying me majorly because it always does start, I did check the throttle body to see if that could be causing anything. It wasn't too gunked up but the flap would stick if I applied a little pressure. I chamfered the edges of it as advised and it was then free to move.
It didn't make it any better and after the car had sat for 2 days while I was away with work, it took a good 5 or 6 seconds to start. It then idled rough/lumpy before settling after a 10 minute drive down the A50 and back. After that she has a smooth idle and has no problems under acceleration.
She's booked in for a service (fuel filter, oil, etc.) so I'm going to ask them to check the starter motor as the battery has been confirmed as fine. Anything else I should be asking for?
