Default struggling to start from cold

Hi folks, yes I leave it until temp is at 33 degrees and only takes a couple of minutes really as I have read on here and logic really that it does give the turbo time to be lubed and also if driven straight from cold it held the gear for what seemed a long time before it changed ( probably warming the engine quicker) but I due treat it gently as had some eye watering bills previously ( due to head gasket failure) and on the second time told because it still overheated it was fit for scrap ! It was through the advice of you good folk saying to use speed flush and I fitted a new PRT ,I haven`t had any issues with overheating and that will soon be two years ago. Yes I will check coil packs and plugs and try to eliminate as I go along, thanks Polinsteve and Yorkshire GOC. It needs to warm up a bit because cor blimey it`s a bitterly cold wind out there, cheers Paul
