hard to start a 02 20dti

can any one help ,i have a problem starting my 20 dti , it's got 132000 on the clock but up to the other day was a sweet as a nut . In the mornings or when it's been parked up for a day or two it takes a few go's to start it up it does start but at first it's all over the place, the glow plug light does not come on on the dash but i have been told this is normal they work under 5 c . the car has been to the moon and back, but was running very well before this started.
CAN YOU HELP !

Needs new leak off pipes, common prob, cheap to do.

I had the same problem with an 02 2.0 DTI (although it was a B) and having the leak off pipes changed cured it.

Fortunately mine was still under warranty at the time !
