Cold start Mayhem

hi, i have a g plate Jap TT auto,

made the mistake of moving it the other night so it was in sight of my flat but did not leave it running long enough. the next morning (430 AM -2 degrees) it wouldn't start.

called the AA- had flooded.

took it for a long run and seemed ok, started it again later and still ok.the next morning.........wouldn't start again, flooded again (this time i was not at fault!!!).

took it for a service at whifbitz in N.london and they can't seem to find the prob at the mo. it starts 'on the button' when warm but takes some turning over now to start at the current freezing temps.......

any ideas peeps???

P.S it has had the service so please don't suggest new plugs!!! ;)

    Anytime I've seen a flooded engine, turned the starter while accelerator pushed to the floor - usually clears it
