Heres the sort of problem...

Heres the situation, finished work turned on the car started up fine (turn the key and after afew seconds it turns over). Drove it down to a cash machine turned off the engine obviously, got some money out, got back in. Turn on the ignition (key fully turned) and it takes a while to tick over and fire up (about 6 seconds).

I mean its not a big deal, but would just like to know what the problem was...

It only ever has a problem if I start up the car, turn it off, wait a little bit and then turn it back on. I mean ive only just got the car, maybe it suppose to be like this?

Car is a Astra 1.8 Coupe btw.
 
Alternativly some cars just get a little testy after a short trip (which i assume that was). If it doesnt do it frequently i wouldnt worry.
Interestingly my mother has a Vectra from around the same period, always disliked starting after a short cold run. Just keep your eye on it for now.
