A couple of times recently my C4S hasn't started, most annoying.
First time was outside my lads school, most irritating as the C4S is the only thing that sets me apart from the homogenous Audi/VW/BMW types...
Turned the key and nothing, lights on but no startee. Embarrassed I walked back home and called a flat bed, as you do. 45 minutes later I headed back and it started first time so all good.
Then last week, just outside Vets4pets it did the same thing, luckily there are a couple of shops to wander around nearby so after 45 minutes in Curry's and TK Max I returned to a most disgruntled cat in a box and a fully functioning 996.
First thoughts are, could this be temperature related, maybe the 45 minute cool down is the key clue, perhaps a slightly dodgy earth strap somewhere that breaks contact when hot then is fine when cold again. I'm open to suggestions but the odd thing is I use the car every day and it's only done this twice in as many months...
I await bang on diagnoses from demort or Alex imminently. First one with a hit wins a lolly
