When it fails to starts does it sound like it wants to start?

Do you find it happens when the car has been only been stopped for a short length of time - say to pop into a news agent, or fill with fuel? Or can it be if the car has been left for a 10+ minutes?

If the former it could be the anti-shudder valve getting stuck shut. This sometimes happens on my 2001 TDi, normally after a 90 minute drive back from work, I stop off for fuel just before I get home, and sometimes I have to hang on the starter key for about 6-10 seconds before it will actually start. That said, since I cleaned up the valve is has not happened again.
