Astra Elite 1.6 petrol H/2009 - intermittent start failure
Discussion
Hi all
I recently bought an astra elite 1.6 H/2009 and after having it for around a month the car failed to start and problem has been ongoing for about 6 weeks now. It starts first time every time after being left over night but when driving throughout the day, if you turn it off you might not get it back on for the next 30 - 90 minutes (sometimes will be ok starting on 2nd or 3rd attempt but then other times you could be sat there trying for an hour before it starts). When it does fail, you turn the key, the dash lights up, fuel needle moves, no warning/engine lights or anything and there is a click at the back where it sounds like it is trying to start but engine does not turn over at all?
Any ideas as to what this might be?
Thanks
Rick
