Default Longer crank times

Guys, my turbo 2000 has always started with a couple of cranks. Today after driving to the shops I jumped back in and it took a fair few cranks to start. When I got back I left the car for and hour and it started as normal. Couple of hours later tried it again and it took a very long time. Any suggestions of what the culprit might be?

Could be a fuel leak causing pressure to drop, try switching ignition on and off a few times to prime it and if it starts better then start looking for leaks. Could also be a failing fuel pump.
Or possibly a coolant temp sensor
