Question

Do you turn the ignition on then wait 5/10 secs for the whirring noises to stop? My wife had probs untill I reminded her to do this. It's just fuel pump priming etc. I've never had a problem with it using that approach.

Ah, I`ve had this prob in a morning I found I have to blip the accelerator a little. It won`t start very well by just turning the key.

Sorted, just waited for the whirring sound to stop, and turned the key. Started no problems.
