Mines fine. And was all of last summer. Unless it is a real old banger, most cars don't struggle to start in the winter tbh.

Mine had trouble because a glowplug had gone, was running on three for like 10 seconds till the 4th was "warmed up".

Changed the glowplug and starts a charm now

Mines fine, just bought it on sat! Thermostat is stuck open though, and its an 8v so it is behind the timing belt! Feels a bit hard to get into gear when cold aswell?
Corsa was fine aswell, now has a new gearbox on.
