    Why doesn't it start? What happens when you turn the key? Battery could need replacing

    you need to give more info? dose it turn over and fail to start? or dose it it kinda start and cut out, with what your saying it could not be getting primed properly on start up, definitely sort the problem rather than finding ways around it

    What happens is...
    Turn the key
    It turns over and does not start ( without touching pedals )
    Try agian depressing clutch till it starts then start pressing right foot

    This is only in like 2 degrees down to minus...

    Doing my fucking head in, when i got work etc

    Mines has started doing the same since the colder weather has came.1st turn of the key feels like it isnt going to start then all of a sudden it fires up fine.Think the battery may be on the way out.
