It could well be an alternator fault, use a volt meter to measure the voltage at the battery, with the engine running as a rule of thumb you should get 14volts with or without headlights on.
Also check with your motor factors as there is a modified starter motor available for the hdi, yours maybe slow in turning over, check all battery and engine earths

could be something as simple as a faulty battery, if the starter is pulling all the battery current then sometimes not enough left to power the hdi try starting it with a set of jump leads when cold to see if its any different
