Astra CDTI Diesel, 2004. The car considering it’s a diesel, it fantastic, drives no problems, just play up when trying to start when its hot/warmed up, it will start 1st Time if its cold, even with all the cold frost we have had, no problem, but when it was warmer problems started, it’s a pig, it will fire eventually but can take a good few 20 sec of turning.

Please help, now I am being told its could / may be the common rail or something.

It will fire but its like it takes so long, sum times 10sec or longer still on the first turn of the key but just takes so long, today I stoped and tryed the 2nd time and after about 5sec it fired.

I would say short tries are better than long. 5 secs sounds long enough for a try. Check the fuel filter also.
