Hi there, I have a 2000 Omega 2.5TD estate. When the engine is stone cold I flick the ignition on wait for the heater light to go out & it  :-\starts straight away, however when the engine is warm it takes an absolute age to start, any of you kind people got any suggestions as to what is wrong & how I can go about fixing it ?   Cheers johnnyfish.
