Hi guys new to the forum wife's car having some weird starting issues. Been searching and reading but can't find any other threads or topics on this particular starting issue.
Started a few weeks ago wife gets up starts the car fine drives to work parks it up and sometimes when she comes out key in car turns over maybe three repetitions then stops won't turn over or start, key out back in same again. Sometimes leave it ten mins starts fine , sometimes an hour sometimes over night. First time it done it was low on oil and wife was convinced this was it I have since put fresh oil in it and its at the correct level so think that's just co incidental. Last time it done it left it overnight and in the morning wouldnt start turns over three or four times the batt and starter sound strong but then it stops won't turn over or start, I disconnected the battery this time for 15 mins reconnected and it started fine. Tonight wife comes out of work same issue calls a cab ten mins later tries it again starts fine if it starts it drives and sounds fine. No lights have shown on the dash part from tonight she said the symbol of car and padlock showed and flashed went out. I came home went out and it starts fine with no lights showing.
Any ideas guys or any further information you need let me know
Sorry car is a 1.4 punto dynamic sport 8v, petrol, 5 door its Got about 34k on the clock
Thanks for reading
