Cold start issue

Hi guys!

I have experienced a problem now after having the car in for a major service where the garage changed the cambelt, auxiliary belt, fuel filter, O2 sensors (all four) and a few more bits.
Now the car will almost not start when it’s cold. I just recorded this video for a friend of mine who is a mechanic and he thinks it might be an issue where the garage might not gotten the timing lined up.
I’m gonna contact then tomorrow but I wanted to share this with you guys and ask if you’ve experienced this before or not?
Hopefully you’ll be able to see the video.

I left the car on the trickle charger over night and when I tried it again this morning it started without any issues.
So I'm thinking it might be the battery as well?

I checked the voltage at the battery yesterday and it said that it had 14 volts when the car was turned on.

[mention=5720,#000000]joez2fly[/mention] no still haven't figured out what the problem is. The car will go in for service again next week. I've had a mechanic friend of mine test it and he belives there might be a timing issue. We'll just have to wait and see.
