Went to start my 96 Corsa B 1.2 8v this morning and had problems getting it to start (took 3 try's to start). This has only happened once all week.

I changed the HT leads, spark plugs, dizzy cap and rotor arm around 6 months ago. I've also recently changed my coolant and cts, I'm guessing it's probably the cold weather or is their anything else it could be?

How do you mean it had trouble starting? Did it turn over slowly, or did it crank over ok, but wouldn't fire?

Try changing your fuel filter and clean out your throttle body.
