My car seems to struggle a little bit when you start it for the first time in the day, rest of the day its fine
Could it be glow plugs that are knackered ?

mines starting to be a little difficult on cold start, 1 pre-heat & it sputters into life but if i pre-heat twice is starts fine everytime, my glowplugs were changed reciently so i don't know if its them or not.
mines alot better now the weather has picked up
Take them all out and hook them up to the battery and see if they glow?
Only for 3 seconds and no more as the tip will burn out, You can test for resistence while still in the head but the above removal gives a clear picture if there working.
You can replace just one at a time but then the other will fail and so on.
im sure they dine use the plugs until it gets down to 6º?
i never wait for mine(2.2 dti), i just turn it over and it starts like a petrol anyway.
infact the lad i got it off told me it didnt have glowplugs cos it was a direct injection engine hahahahaha..
al.
when mine were failing i had the car and spanner light come on and it would go out after a few mins, the car never struggled to start but i changed them all and the light doesnt come on now.
