problems by starting up

Hi Lambert, no it s just i am used to my wagon r, which after a key turn fired up at once.. it takes normally 2or 3 sec to start. Yesterday it didn t fire up till the second attemp (first did not start at all)

I know they can differ, but my experience is they will start well within 2-3 second  first turn. I would start by checking the plugs / service state, I know its new to you, but the previous owner (or garage) may have just ignored this. Also get the battery checked, Halfords will check it for free if you ask, so no need to book into a garage.

all the best

First cold snap the AA & RAC are rushed off their feet going to cars that won't start, it is nearly always battery.

When it's cold,
- the engine takes more starting (has to be turned over for longer),
- the oil is thicker,
- the starter motor current is higher,
- the battery's output is typically lower, especially peak current.

Even a good battery can struggle to start a cold engine if it is less than 20% charged and if it is more than 3 years old, that is probably your problem. The battery should be date coded, worth a check.

Also depress the clutch when starting it removes a little load.

guys thanky you all for the tips... I ll go thorough through everything and let You know .
in the meantime all the best and tx a lot
