Cough on start up

My 57 plate 130 has just started on the last few drives sounding a tad lumpy on start up, it used to turn over nice and smoothly but now it seems to give a mild struggle then fire up. Far as I can tell it runs alright but just wondered if anyone else has had this?

Do you have a diagnostic code reader? If not perhaps whip it along to this independant and get him to have a quick look to see if it can be pinned down?

small amount of air maybe , check filter is tight or might be worth just to change it

glow plugs can make it slightly rough for few seconds if not working at all , don't normally make them any harder to start but can make a little rough when first started

is it only when sat overnight so stone cold ?

Could be a glow plug. Does it smooth out when warm. 2008 Defender 110 XS CSW

Thanks guys, oddly it's stopped doing it over the last few days. I'll keep an eye on it and report back with any problems/solutions.
