I've had this car for about 4 years and it was a 2008 58 reg
Since I had it it starts every time pretty much first spin of the engine.
For about 2 months it hadn't started first time, it cranks but won't start on first try, but started next time without fail.
Now in the last 3-4 days it's been touch and go if it would start at all. Engine cranks with no firing, sometimes it fires but doesn't start, a few more goes without any firing then hear ot trying to fire for 3 or 4 revs of the engine and so far it just about manages to start.
It is generally OK if it's relatively warm, been running in the last hour, if left for a couple of hours it isn't great, but overnight it's terrible.
When running it runs great, nothing perceptible in performance, fuel consumption, etc.
I assume something must have been on its way out when it first failed to start first time. I didn't think anyone would seriously try and find a fault in a car that starts on second turn of ignition.
I'd like some Idea of possible probable causes before going to try and get it repaired so I don't get taken down an expensive road of pointless work that couldn't fix the problem.
Oh and I just live just outside London area, not somewhere excessively cold, etc. Not excessively hot either despite apparently being summer.
Thanks for any suggestions or advice
