My Auto wont start, I turn on the engine, the battery is good, ut the gear shows A4... I just cant start it.... then I leave it till about 1pm and she starts? I am wondering if I have damp plugs? I sat there this morning with a hair dryer, to try and get her warm and even wrapped her engine up with a blanket? I poured a load of oil over them the other day when trying to fill up car, do you think this is problem xxxxx thank you so much xxxx

Sound more like a coolant temperature sensor fault.
If the CTS isn't sending the right signal it wont have the right fuel mixture to start,
Temperatures rising through the day will mean it doesn't need such a rich mixture so it does start.
