struggling to start from cold

Hi Simon, yes it is most definitely oil, and yes all four are affected. I had all four cam seals replaced October last year as they were leaking not that it has any effect on this issue. It has done about 4k since I had the head gasket done and the turbo was rebuilt six months before I purchased the car ( approx eight years ago). Not that it has any bearing on the issue but I have never driven her over 70mph as I know first hand of the head gasket issue these K series engines suffer from and always been wary of pushing her hard in case of turbo failure. If it were to be the turbo there is nobody this way that I could trust to do it after the fiasco I had getting the head gasket done ! Thanks Simon for advice, regards Paul
