could be the water temp sensor at the back of the inlet manifold, give the plug some wd40 too first.

have you tried cleaning the ISCV out?
also when did it get a nice new set of plugs?

ok cheers i checked the water temp sensor and it seemed fine, this morning it started first time. i think it could have something to do with the imobliser because just before i started the car i unlocked the car a few times with the innition on and it started first time no problem. so will try again tomnorrow and see if it works
