OK, here goes!

Put key into ignition and turn, engine turns over briefly, then stops then turns over again and starts :confused:

Does not happen every time, and does not reset stereo and clock so do not think a bad earth on battery.

Any suggestions :confused:

Cars a 1997 W210 estate.
 
dodgy starter motor?

things to check

1, start it with the lights on - do they dim when you turn the key? and by how much?

2, is the battery fully charged?

3, are all the contacts on the starter clean and secure?

HTH
