    What happens when you attempt to start it?

    Does it rCyturn overrCO?

    Does it rCyfirerCO - ie appear to ignite fuel but not run?


    If you turn the lights on and try, what happens?

    Bad connection to the starter motor, or to the starter solenoid, or bad solenoid itself? Or could it be the ignition key, if there are separate contacts for the starter solenoid? Does it start if you do a 'bump
    start'.

    The starter relay could be sticking or the relay contacts failing.

    The relay is in the fuse box in the engine compartment

    When it fails to start next time try tapping the top of Relay with the
    handle of a screwdriver and then try and restart the car.

    R8 (relay 8) = ignition
    R13 (relay 13) = starter
