Got a small, irritating issue with the 7A, when I have driven the car up to temperature if I leave it for 3-4 hours, and go to start it, it takes a few more cranks to get it going, and when it DOES start it starts at a really low idle, all 5 cylinders I think, but really low. Then after a few seconds, the revs pick up and then idles at ~900 like it always has.
If I start it after a few minutes, when still hot, fires straight up, when cold, fires straight up.
Any ideas? I'm leaning to fuelling, possibly weak fuel pump? or heatsoak vapourising fuel in the rail?
I don't think it is electrical, but happy to be corrected
Will pull codes tomorrow morning, but last time I checked, and this is since the problem has manifested, there was only one, which was something to do with carbon canister, not connected, pretty sure that was me when I was messing about in the boot trying to sort the water leaks out.
Cheers,
Pete.

), so doubt this is the issue, but will monitor in a few days.
