N reg Laguna rti wont turn over

[nathanwiblin]

Hi all, first an intro as its my first post! - HELLO!!!!!

Now on to business!

I have a n reg renault laguna 2.0 rti - It has done 178000 miles, but had a new engine clutch gearbox etc fitted in 2000 and has covered 78000 miles.

I bught this off a friends brother who had it since new and he never had a problem with it. It was left on the drive for a year, then I bought it with a new mot (which it flew past)

Every so often I will try to start the car, open the central locking as normal with the fob, then go to turn the ignition on, and all the right lights come up and when I go to start the car - NOTHING!

I wait a day or two and hey presto its all allright.

Weird, the fob is fine I opened the alarm bit in the roof to check for water and nothing.

The really strange thing is I can bump it, so I dont think it is the immobiliser.

I have put in a new battery (which casued a few probs with the alarm and immobiliser but all sorted now) and it still does it, yet all lights radio etc works so i think the alternator is ok, dunno how to find the startermotor so I dont know about that, but like I said the problem is intermitent.

Any help would be sweet!

Thanks for providing an excellent servive.
