Hi,
I have been the proud owner of a 1999 Rover 75 (manual diesel) for about 6 weeks now. It drives beautifully and is generally a joy EXCEPT every now and then it just won't start. (90 percent of the time it starts first go). It is not a battery problem and a mechanic has told me he doesn't think it is the starter motor. The breakdown service tested the car's computer and said no faults were reported. On every occasion but one the car has eventually started (though on a few occasions I have had to leave it for 10 mins or so). On one occasion I flattened the battery but the next morning when I came back the car started first go.

This is unbelievably frustrating. Every time I have somewhere important to go I am filled with dread and I dare not offer to drive anyone else somewhere for fear the car won't start!

Any ideas anyone???

Yours gratefully,
Laura
