2001 Vauxhall Zafira Manual 64000 miles

I have a problem with the car starting first time. It takes a few turns with the key and my foot on the gas to try and kick start it. When trying to start it earlier at the supermarket, a member of the public suggested it could be my 3rd cyclinder misfiring. Is this true? If so what can be done to fix it??? Thanks please help.
