Hi all,
My wife's golf (I think it's the 130) is becoming a bit hard to start this time of year. It always starts, but whereas it's usually one second on the starter it's 2 or 3. And as it starts it's pretty uneven sounding, like it's not all fitting up at once. Any ideas?

my PD150 does the same, possibly glowplugs need replacing for a start.

Less than £10 each, easiest thing to try.
