Peugeot 206 starting problem

[R7fld]

Hi there, hopefully someone will be able to help. My girlfriend has a 206 1.6 petrol and when she goes to start it it just cranks over and you have to push the gas pedal to get it going. This happens 90% of the time and seems to be better when it's cold outside. She's had it for around a year now and has had this problems since we got it but it has never let us down. It's just a bit annoying. Any help will be much appreciated

When were the spark plugs and air filter last renewed? How many miles has the car done and when was it last properly serviced? Are you using decent fuel or supermarket stuff?

You haven't told us much about the car at all so we don't have much to go on.
