I haven't watched the video as I'm at work but it may be the crank sensor as I had similar issues.

Try turning the ignition on twice before starting.

Check the fuel pump relay .
If it has a poor contact , it will cause the fuel pressure to be reduced and cause what you are experiencing .

How do I do this mate? Complete novice with cars.

Found it mate. The box looked like it had come out a tiny bit. Took it off and checked the connections, they looked clean so put it back and see what happens in the morning. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your help.

My mate suggested that. Will give that a go too. So you don't think the problem is anything too serious? It always drives fine.

If it were serious it wouldn't start at all lol.
Might even be a slow pump running first thing and once it starts it's fine .
Does it only do it once ? And in the morning ?

Yeah seems to be so far mate. On nights this week and done it every morning I think.
