Started the car (1.2) the other day without the 'checks' completing. Not something I normally do but was not concentrating. Thought nothing else of it. Today took car out of drive to repark , it started fine but I ran it only for a minute or so - which was as long as it took to reverse and repark.
Just gone to the car about 6 hours later and it has turned over but not firing. Battery sounds weak after about 5 turns, fuel coming through ok because you can smell it.
Any ideas if this could be: starting incorrectly the other day, running it for too short a time when cold this morning, or the battery needs a charge (battery is heavy duty and only 2yrs old).
Am charging the battery now to see if that works. Any advice welcome as
travel plans for tomorrow in jeopardy because of this.
