Default MY16 intermittent start problem- extended cranking

Hi guys/girls,

Has anyone with an MY15/16 had any issues with extended cranking on start up? I've had my 16 premium manual for 3 weeks and has done it 3 times. Car runs and idles fine once started but once in a blue moon it will crank for 5-7 seconds, cough and splutter then finally fire up. Called the dealership and of course they want a video or the car for a week or so to replicate.

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem? Googled hard starts on 2015/6 and seems a few in America have had the issue. I'm thinking very intermittent fuel pressure regulator fault, like it's not holding base pressure when the car is off and seems to inject air for a while?
