:sus: This is so frustrating and seems to happen when you least want it to, busy petrol station or miles from home ! 02 plate 1.7dti , has been so tremendously reliable, now on 5 separate occassions, after normal use and most often just an hour or so after use, I go to start the car, full ignition all warning lights on, normal ones go out.....turn key and ..nothing!! It doesn't matter how many times you try it still does nothing, battery disconnected for 10 ...nothing, come back 2-3 hours later starts fine and will drive for a couple of weeks and then same again.
No warning lights on, no fault code?????????????? soooooooooooo annoying. Has anybody had the same problem ?

Most likely to be either a problem with the starter motor, the ignition switch, or the wiring in-between.

Testing of the components would need to be carried out when the fault occurs to determine where the problem lies.
