Hi i went to the shops today and after coming out the car would not start i have the back seats out for a job i am doing so could hear the fuel pump prime and the there was like a gurgel sound started after about 6 attempts and waiting a bit. Does it sound like the fuel pump problem. It has done it before about 3 weeks ago but thought i would see if it did it again and it has
Thanks Neil

does it do it when the engine is warm? 8 times out of 10 it the temprature sensor thats gone duff. fuel pumps usaly pack in and dont work again.

if its fuel pump i would of thought u would of noticed while the engines runing as well, my mate had this on his wagon turbo turned out to be a faulty starter motor which eventually completely gave up after gettin worse n worse n some times just not doing anything when he turned the key.

The car tried to start but did not fire may have a look at the starter motor and make sure the wires are ok
