We've got a Nimbus 3003 with single Tamd41a. Easy to maintain but when you say they're difficult to start from cold, I've never had an issue with starting except when I had air in the system after a filter change, I'd probably go further and say if they don't start straight away I'd be concerned but it could be a simple thing as above.

Colhel good morning; I have same boat and have leaky valves at the front of the engine with blue shut off wheels. They are feed and return for the hot water tank. I wondered if you know where these parts can be source?

Morning Simon, I know the valves you mean but I wouldn't know where to source them. Have you tried Golden Arrow? Could they have seals that need replacing?
Where do you keep your boat?

Another thought, have you found the Nimbus 3003 Facebook group? It's a Swedish mainly group but they reply to my queries in English and Google translate helps

I have a different boat but a TAMD41p with those same calorifier isolation valves and mine started to leak a few years ago. They are no longer available (or at least I could not find them) and have now been superseded by 90-degree hose tails, VP part number 961607, with a ball valve in the hose (see last picture below). However, I bought new O-rings for my existing valves, VP part number 955989. Tricky to remove and refit the barrel but certainly worked for me and has been leak-free for 2 years so far.
