I have done the same thing with every diesel i have had, sure they stumble a bit and sometimes cut out but they allways seem to start straight away on the key

As DG said, also run the motor up to temperature before starting, it takes the strain of a cold start out of the equation

I usually fill the new filter with fresh diesel but other than that nothing!
