Just wondered if anyone can help, sorry for the lack of technicallity i dont really know much about my car.
for about 3 weeks now car has not been starting randomnly, after a few attempts it finally starts. For the las 5 days it has started perfectly then tongiht the problem returned. we have noticed the problem only really occurs when the engine is warm. it never happens first thing in a morning only when i have left the car for about 15 mins then returned.
The car turns over just nothing happens. We took it to the garage he started it and it started first time so he said id have to let it get worse before he could see what was wrong without doing unecessary repairs.
i have changed the tdc sensor which is a common problem, reading on reanult forums. changed the fuel filter had car serviced to i can smell a bit of petrol.
Now it doesnt sound to good just nto as smooth as it used to. Sorry for going on, can anyone help!!!
