Smile XC70 Misfire early in the morning

Hi there
My 2000 (MY2001) XC70 misfires every morning very predictably.
It will start up fine, drive normally for 10 meters then misfire almost to the point of stalling for the next 50 meters. After this it fires up normally and I can drive away under normal power. It only happens after starting early in the morning or late at night if it hasn't been used through the day. This all started as the temperatures dropped a litle with the onset of Autumn. Starts and works fine if driven through the day however.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou

Next cold start, try starting it and letting it idle for five minutes and let us know if it does it after a certain time period.
