i had a similar fault on a nissan micra h reg. found I had to press the accellerator when starting from cold - the choke was dodgy and sometimes would not engage, so had to warm the engine up by depressing the throttle slightly for about 3 minutes, until it was stable, or else it would just die. not good in cold weather!

wasnt gonna bother repairing a £300 car.

Not sure where crafty's coming from but a 600 sli won't have a choke.

From your description it sounds like it could have been the immobilizer on the blink,if it happens again you will need to have an E.C.U. fault check done,then work from there.

Possibly the temp sender.
Reads the temperate of the coolant in the engine to tell the ECU whether the car is hot / cold thus needing more or less fuel.
