Recently when.i start the Nova from.cold itll run for about 10-15 seconds and all of a sudden.just dies, even.if your keeping the revs up it just bogs and cuts out, starts again straight away but does this 2 or 3 times untill its okay, any ideas? Ill upload a video shortly of what its bdoing :(

Video wont buffer for me, but check your breather pipe from the poowercrap on the right hand side, i left mine off once by mistake and it would fire up, rev (albeit struggling and missing) then cut out after about 10-15 seconds, make sure thats on both ends and isnt split anywhere!

I can see it dies when you let off the throttle. My old 20XE did that, it didn't want to idle until it warmed up a little, turned out to be the ICV.
