Help please, would be grateful for any recommendations or advice:
My car starts from cold (at least so far) and never let me down, last week I switched off the engine in traffic and when I went to re-start i noticed that the engine seem to crank over for much longer than usual but it started, then again a few days later I switched it off and tried to re-start it again within 10 mins and whilst it cranked over it refused to start. After several attempts it still did not start so I left it for 1 hour and then tried again, this time it started no problem.
I've had this failure to start now a few times and it happened again to me today at a drive through, this time the engine was running while I was waiting in traffic and then cut out and refused to start (cranking over but not starting).
30 miniutes later I tried to start it and it started no problem, I drove home 3 miles and then it cut out again while I was reversing in to my drive - now it does not start
