Have you tried putting some cleaner through the injectors , try some 10k boost or another injector cleaner if this does nt solve anything try changing the fuel filter

fuel filter changed already..... possible for the leak of pipes or injector seals to cause this?

Park it up pointing down hill. See what happens the next day. If air is getting in at the injectors, then you shouldn't have much of a problem starting in the morning. If the car is pointing up hill, the fuel can run back to the tank.

have a look at the injectors,if it is wet or overlyclean round them the leak off pipes need changing.

crank shaft sensors are also known to cause you needing to crank and crank and crank the engine to get it to start ( about £40 for a new one and hel in with 1 torx screw )
