I have a 2006 V8 Vantage and for some reason it does not seem to start sometimes, i have changed the Start Button in the dash aswell as the Starter Motor since then however am still having the same problem.

The car always starts in the morning however once i drive it, may be the 2nd or 3rd time i go to start it nothing happens. There is no noise or anything however the start button lights up red so i knw the cluth button is working fine. I have to wait around 15 mins or even upto a hour sometimes for it to start again.

Has any body else had similar problems?

cheers

i think it has a tracker fitted but im not sure which one, why would a tracker cause this?
