STOP USING EASY START !!!!!!!!
engines can very quickly get addicted to easy start and you will have to do it every morning for the rest of its life if you do it too much
I am guessing its a diesel and if its hard to start then bung in a new set of glow plugs in the engine and that sorts it out 95% of the time
Need to get the engine covers off, then its a 30 minute job to swap
( just a tip - take it to a garage as these can sometimes shear off when removing because they are quite thin and they can seize into the block, so let them deal with the problems just make sure you get a quote at the start and dont let them bully you into paying more and ask for the old ones to be left in the car )
If no change then start heading down the service route, if its petrol then go straight for a service, plugs leads oil filters etc
Will be like new again after some tlc

Oh sorry I'm from crewe originally but now derbyshire and very close to Leicestershire border! Does it start easier if you pump the hand pump on the top of the filter first before you attempt to start?
