Does it do it immediately, or after 30secs or so? The glowplus will go out after about 30 seconds of running, so it'll probably run ok but then start to miss after this time?

It's not out of the ordinary mate, particularly in cold weather. I wouldn't worry if it goes once the car is warmed up it'll be fine.

Blocked fuel filter?
sounds like the engine's starving ; could be a number of things. check fuel lines and filter.

New fuel filter tbh, i think i may check the strainer though as now and again it does seem to feel like its being starved when running, im also replacing the grenade and pipework in engine bay
Just curious too but how many pumps does the grenade usually take to go hard before starting mine takes a while
