Had a problem for the last week or so, when I go to start, turn the key, engine turns over but will not start, tried with both keys and still no joy (not immobilizer!), Leave car for 20/30 min and starts with the flick of the key!
Very annoying when you are late for work.
For the first few times when you turn the key, I waited for the lights to go out (Engine managment etc) then tried to start, thought I was tring to start to quick! But after last night the engine managment light stays on, until I finally got it started after leaving it for 20/30 mins! When it went out. Now stays on when all others go out, until the engine stars.
Thanks

Well guys done the pedal trick, and got a code 0335, which I understand is a fault with the crank sensor!
Thanks
