td5 starting problem

Got a new battery, alternator just been refurbed, but it seems when its frosty there is not power to turn over quite fast enough to fire the engine. anyone got any ideas.

On another note some times the throttle response is slower than others time is there a sensor that might need cleaning/changing.
Thanks

Clean up your earth points and check the power cable to the starter.
I ran an extra earth cable from the battery to one of the starter mounting bolts and mine spins like a top even in the cold weather.

Thanks for that thought it might be an earth problem,will have a look at weekend.

Any idea on the throttle response issue, it seems to be intermittent could it be a sensor needs replacing / cleaning
