    My first guess would probably be glowplugs.........

    Had a similar problem on mine in November and decided to get the full service done (at vauxhall) and they told me that one of the glowplugs was duff, so decided to get them all changed (£135 to just do the plugs)

    Best bet would be to get the codes read (if any are stored) and take it from there.

    Best of luck
