Here's the thing. I've got an intermittent starting problem that the independent I bought the car from can't identify so I wonder if the symptoms sound familiar to anyone??
First sign of trouble was that there was no activity from the starter motor when I turned the key. Turned it twice. On third time the starter turned briefly, the engine fired but died immediately. Fourth time started normally.
Independent investigated and said no issues with the cable or the starter motor.
No further problem for 2 weeks until today when on turning the key the starter turned briefly, engine fired and died immediately. Turned key again and again brief starter action, engine died immediately. Third attempt starter turned normally and engine started normally.
Now faced with either taking the car to an OPC and risking expensive 'no fault found' or driving around wondering if it will fail to start completely sooner or later.
Anyone had this??
