After dropping my Daughter of at school this morning and the car seemingly running fine/smooth i've now got a problem with starting her up.
I tried 3 times to start her up and she wouldn't turn over, making all the right noises and there didn't seem to be any wrong noises but it just wouldn't fire up!
4th time i tried she did start up and idles fine but the engine management light is now on even though the car reads as having no faults, possibly the alternator or starter motor?
About a month ago whilst i was offshore my wife did moan about the car being a bit lumpy and the revs jumping a little when she was sitting idling at traffic lights etc and the engine management light came on, when i got home from offshore i gave her a good run and the light went off and the cars been fine ever since including whilst idling??
Any ideas before i book her into the garage to get hooked up to STAR?
