Thanks guys, two important observations:
OBS1: What I thought was problems starting in the cold - has now proved to be linked NOT to the temperature, but to the fuel level... Turns out, the fall in temperatures here coincided with me running the diesel tank down to almost empty... When the tank is topped out (over 1/2 full) there is no problem starting even in cold weather.
OBS2: The Q5-problms gets worse in cold weather.
