Jumped in this morning, turned the key as you do (usually starts at the first flick) wouldn't start. Cranked it a few times, still wouldn't start. Seemed like it wasn't firing, just whizzing over. I was in a rush, so I took the metro instead  probably cheaper too  anyway came back home about 3 hrs later & thought ok lets have another go. Nope  still not playing, at least it seemed to be trying this time & was coughing & spluttering and trying to fire up. So I went in, got changed into me scruffs ready to do battle. The car is parked on the street at the mo as I'm in the process of rebuilding my second home garage  . So the idea was to let it roll down the hill into the driveway. So there I go roll it into the drive, and think give it one more go - & it bloody starts!!!!!  coughing a ploom of crap out of the exhaust!

Any ideas anyone??? There's no warning lights on, took it for a blast to clear its throat and charge the battery a bit as it took a bit of charge out of it. seems fine now. Brought it home, let it cool down started it again, back as normal. I'm a bit stumped really???

Have you done the pedal trick? My car did similar last year & it was the crank sensor .... can't remember off hand what the code is for yours

There was enough fuel in it, surely?

(only because it started after you moved it)
