2012 Vauxhall Meriva Not Starting - RAC Can’t Help

If enough of the posters above guess at different random things, and start firing the parts cannon too, one of them will get it right.

I let it settle for a min and tried to restart, it cranked once, and then nothing. Every attempt after than it didn’t even crank, but warning lights no-longer on.

By the time he was finished it was cranking every time (even now several hours later) but it’s just not firing or getting past the initial crank.

Now there might be something in the fact it wouldn't crank over for some time, like several hours, (or until it cooled down)

Just wondering, could this have ran hot and nipped up?

My last Vauxhall's sensors were the most unreliable part on the car.

Any update? 

An identical thing happened to a car I had many years ago.  In that case, the fuel pump was the culprit - it gave up the ghost whilst approaching a roundabout, which resulted in the engine stopping and refusing to restart.  A new fuel pump was fitted and the car restored to running condition.  It was an old car, however, and didn't have any electronics.
