Thanks Alan - that sounds worth a try! Thanks Dave - I have the diags on order so will see what that tells me. 🙂

Thanks both - I tried that when the problem first happened .... actually tried moving through all the gears and and starting in Park and in neutral. No joy unfortunately but thanks again for the thought.

Thanks for the suggestions and yes, I've already tried with my spare key (when the problem first manifested) and it still didn't start. I'll see if I can get hold of the diags software, assume I will also need a specfic cable to connect to the management system?

Hey there - cry for help for a dreaded, intermittent issue! Now and again she just wont start. Symptoms are: On turning the ignition key, all seems fine, no warning lights etc but no sign of life from the engine. Nadda. Sometimes trying a couple of times "unblocks" the problem, sometimes it needs twenty of more attempts and other times I give up, leave her alone and come back another day. Then starts first time. Sometimes. She can go months without this issue reappearing, then I might experience the problem several times over a week or so - then it's fine again for a while. There doesn't seem to be any correlation with the weather/temperature, parking location (flat/on a hill), starting from cold or warm, amount of fuel in the tank etc. First time it happened I called out Green Flag who couldn't find any problem (having assumed it was the battery or battery conections, which it wasn't). Booked her in to the garage but they couldn't find anything wrong. Any suggestions what I might try to diagnose the issue - albeit intermittent and therefore almost impossible to troubleshoot? Many thanks in advance for any help received. Lorna
