Mend C5

C5 2.0hdi 2003. Starts ok sometimes but not always?

My C5 2.0hdi 47.000mls drives lovely. But starts good sometimes, and then not so good other times (but eventually starts with a few turns of the key and sitting bout 10mins. Any ideas ?

unlikely to be glow plugs as they don't operate on the H D I engine untill the ambiant temperature drops to zero or below, check the fuel unions around the engine bay as a loose union could be allowing air in to the fuel system which will have to be purged when starting
