From a cold start my car will start turn over but then the revs drop out and the car stalls. It will do this two/three times before starting properly. Once its started it runs normally and drives like a dream. Renault have no idea and just want to plug it in to their diagnostic machine but I havent had any faults show....££ grabbers!!

Any ideas? thought it might be TDC however it NEVER cuts out mid drive only from a cold start.

Do not know the car. But from cold start, points to choke on a petrol, glow plugs on a diesel. Try higher revs, ie put your foot down a bit. on a petrol, if ok then choke problem, so higher revs when starting.. that would point to auto choke problem.
