He must at the whist drive Smile

First step is to ring IM - the numbers in the sticky at the start of the forum and see if any recalls are due on the car as that work is free.

The hard starting could be wrong oil or a fault with the rail oil pressure sensor or rail oil pressure control valve or a faulty oil pick up pipe ,this can be tested by putting in 2 litres more oil over the full mark ,the first two require tech II the dealer diagnostic tool.
Also fuel running back from the head would give starting faults as would the pipes on top of the fuel tank being rusty and letting in air.
The misfire could be the start of an injector problem so its wants doing soonest .

Need some more info as robbo posted .

Depends on what they find and your recall status,but a good dealer will asess and speak to you b4 any work carried out,major prob was injectors,pretty much defo FOC......also I believe,turbo,oil p/p pickup and ceramic heater were under recall.....

Best of luck....
