Hi and welcome

Those old MURVI were great.. we looked at them after our H reg 1990 Ducato


I had no petrol experience.. is it the 'Talbot' engine??

The Forum version of the ePER parts system might help you there

'Servicing'

Can mean anything from

An oil change (Basic )

Oil and Air Filter changes ( still basic..)

Sparkplugs ( periodic)

If it runs OK ONCE WARM..and the MPG is OK


I would go for
1, Spark Plugs .. check the Gaps

2, An air leak..through hoses perished through age


A dirty air filter would normally make cold starting better than hot


Thats all standard advise for Conventional Petrol Engines


Feel free to tell us more
