Very very occasionally my 1999 TD5 will not start. It has only happened twice in the past three months but is a bit worrying.
This morning for instance, I started it from cold and reversed out of the drive and switched off to shut gates etc
When I came to restart, some, but not all of the warning lights came on and nothing happened when I turned the key. Lit warning lights did not go dim, and I did notice that the glow plug light did not come on as usual
After two of three goes at switching the ignition on and off, all lights appeared and it started OK.
A similar thing happened about two months ago after driving about 80 miles so it appears to happen both if engine is hot or cold
Any help would be appreciated.
