SL55
My 2007 has now decided that it doesn't like starting sometimes.
But return to the car later in the day and it will probably start immediately!

On each occasion it has been recently raining and quite cold and it will be the first start of the day. Not dead - all electrics whir and all that, but no turnover.

Had two AA visits. First time the chap fiddled about with the key and it started on the 3rd go. Did not hazard a guess.

Second visit, virtually the same, perhaps a bit more key fiddling.
Said that it was some kind of ignition issue high up in the chain, possibly key related. Suggested I keep the second key with me until I get it sorted.

This morning it was cold and the car was covered in beads of water. Would not start, tried both keys and much key fiddling. Just went back to it just now - fired up no probs on the original key.

Only discernible difference is the car is now dry and the temperature is a few degrees warmer. Not convinced at all of any key issue.

Anyone come across anything like this?
 
Looks like I should have put this in the Electrics forum. I'll start a thread there.
 
It needs a Star diag otherwise it's guesswork.
