dont bother with the d, go for the td, its much better, it does more mpg, you can tune it up too 100 bhp as i have prooved for 15 quid and its still mega cheap on the insurance.
other than that starting from cold can be difficult, ask to see if the valve clearence has been adjusted, if it hasnt it will need to be done. other than that i cant think of anything.
oh check the b pillers for cracks near the lacth for the front doors.

adam turbod a 1.5 d, with the same mods his gave 78 bhp mine gave 99 bhp.
its a pain in the arse doing it essecially the fuel pump. just buy a td, they are cheap anyway.
