For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.from your post it sounds like the starter motor and fuel pump are both okay. Does it run okay once started? I was thinking either a fueling problem (partially blocked lines/injector) or a spark problem. Has it had a good service recently? A fueling blockage or spark problem would probably result in poor running as well. Might be worth putting a new air filter in and changing the plugs for the sake of a few quid. That's all I can think of at the moment
