It happens randomly
Mine turns on the first time. The starter just has to crank a little longer. How many cranks are you holding for before you try again?
Could it be a battery issue?
Yeah i think it might be a battery problem.Quote:

In my opinion, it is the combination of the long stroke of the engine (99mm) and a wet sparkplug that results in the difficulty with starting. The engine does start. You just have to hold the key longer.
I get the same problem too. Only 2 times in 9 months I've had it though. Both times were when the car was already warm....went to shops came back, try to start first time it wouldn't fire up. Cranked it again and it was ok...
yeh i noticed that you have to 'crank' or watever its called when you turn the key to start the car, it takes a while with the euro, maybe 1 -2 seconds, wheras with another car we have, the car starts in about half a crank, or .5 of a second...
Today it turned off twice before starting, i have to do something about it
Mine does this too its got 5000km and is a manual. Wierd
Has yours turned off though?Quote:
