So went to see Kris's today to see if we could figure out the starting problem. We have come to the conclusion that air is getting in somewhere, but we can't find it, so we think there might be a problem with the pump. As I said before it only happens if the car has been sat for 6-7hrs plus. Anytime before this the car starts fine.
So after that we did a quick service changed the oil.

Changed the oil and fuel filter, then realised we forgot to other main thing we were suppose to be working on, the sump.
So we quickly wipped off the sump, had a bit of a problem with an alternator bracket, but a quick bit of drilling and a smack with the hammer and it was removed and the sump came off. Cleaned up, re siliconed and re fitted.
Car feels much smoother to drive now which is great. Looks like it might be new pump time, more mod and newer seals.
Also fitted this too.
