are you waiting for the pre-heater light to go out on the dash - mine starts straight away if I wait for the light to go out or else it will take a few turns to start

I had something similar when I first got my car and the Vauxhall garage replaced an injector seal and then it was ok

Same happened with 2.2 diesel Etite, changed fuel filter, diesel filter, changed the fuel. My car also had a 'mis-fire' - yes I know diesels can't mis-fire, but it is the only way to describe the fault, Vauxhall dealer could not find the problem, anyway a HGV diesel Xperet sorted it with new 'injector seals', he said common fault after a few years or 60k miles.
