Default Difficulty cold starting

My 99 V8 takes a bit of winding before it will start on the recent cold mornings. I fitted a brand new Bosch battery a couple of weeks ago, and had new spark plugs fitted last week.
It seems to be an engine dampness problem as it fires up after I spray the visible electrical terminals with damp start / WD40 type spray

Is this a common problem, is there a fix ?.
