Sorry to bother everyone, but am having problems the last two COLD mornings, starting the car (MY97). Normally fine, fires straight up, but now takes 6-10 good turn over sessions on the key. Battery fine, lots of fuel etc. Wondered if better to leave ignition on for little while for something to prime/warm up? before firing. Also mentioned other day about wastegate solenoid clicking on start up and fades away when engine warm. this morning working continuously even after engine hot and 20mins. Thanks to anyone in advance who can help or offer any tips. Matti.

could be a dirty or failing timing sensor. Suggest try remove and clean the sensors and try again. being as the engine has to "read" these sensors before it will "fire up", if dirty or faulty, it can cause a delay in it starting.
