Default Cold start issues

Hi all
Since sunday we're having troubles starting my Wifes LW2 diesel focus. Sometimes it starts with no trouble, sometimes kicks over for a bit, starts and then stops a few seconds later. Had RACQ put the other morning and he said battery good and thought maybe bad fuel. Once warm, not a drama in the world.

It had a service a couple of weeks ago (60k), so will call them in the morning.

The father in law reckons water / air in the fuel line due to the fuel filter not being tightened enough and its sucking stuff in.

Has anybody had this issue too and what was the culprit?

Cheers
Dan
