astra mk V, 1.6 petrol, about once a month it just wont start, ignition turns over but wont fire. can bump start it and then it’ll restart after running for a few minutes. Runs fine rest of time, no warning lights. Used to belong to FiL he said he’s not had any issues with it.
Any ideas before I sign up for a load of cost and rigmarole trying to get a garage to diagnose it?
Mum had a very same model, hers didn’t start once after moving car a short distance (moving parking spot) but by time AA got there he got in and it started up fine. Had a google and saw a couple other weird not starting stories from astra owners but they said after leaving it for an hour or so it started up ok.
Last time this happened I left it ages and still wouldn’t start – had it 3 months or so and this is only 2nd time it’s happened.
