Just wanted to know if anyone has any recent experience with any of these issues?
From the searches I've done it sounds like it could be Idle control valve or Throttle Valve Actuator. Both of these sound like quite expensive fixes which I'm not all that keen on!
cheers

Long cranks are characterics of the car as it ages. I have it too when the car hasn't been started for a couple of days. I have not experienced rough idle, unless I am missing something.
I think the DSC warning is related to the loss of air and once you have the puncture repaired and reset the TPM, you should be fine. I have experienced this when the car has been on the dyno, but when you drive off, both switch-off.
Hope I have answered you concerns. Good luck.
