Sooooo........
I recently posted a problem I had in which my car was running very ruff but also kinda sorted its self out
Take a look ---> Ruff chugging engine (3 cylinders)?
So its kinda fixed its self in a way but now a new problem has risen which I think is linked, now whenever I try to start my car it doesn't quite want to start first time. Especially when its been left standing for a while.
I don't think its an electrical problem (like dying battery) that im aware of and it helps to pump the accelerator a bit to get it started.
Could this be pointing to an injector problem like the problem before??
any help is as always much appreciated!

Obvious culprits are the coil pack, spark plugs & injectors.
Personally i'd change your spark plugs first of all and check what make your coil pack is. If its the sagem one bin it and fit another.
Has your engine management light come on at all?

Everyone will recommend a bougicord one - good luck finding it! Peugeot sell valeo ones, GSF motorfactors sell the same ones about £20 cheaper than Peugeot - I've just picked one up today.
Did you use bosch spark plugs or NGK?

Should be all next week at the minute. I work till half 4-ish, just off Park Parade (A635) near Lidl.
Would I be travelling to you? If so, what's your post code so I can work out the cost.
