So my car is being a massive pain?! It's up for sale and I've got people who've arranged to come see it tomorrow, so a couple of days ago it decides to labour before starting, it can take one or two goes, or 5 or 6 there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. Doesn't make a difference if its hot or cold, full of fuel or near empty.
Once its started it drives perfectly, smooth and runs as normal without any hiccups so I'm confused as to the cause of the starting issue?
Took a video of it one of the times:

I changed the starter motor not that long ago as the one i had was whinning. In the past couple of days have tried changing the fuel filter and fuel pump relay as my best guess has been fuel starvation. Checked the batteries output and its fine, my friends garage put it on a fault code reader and its throwing up low voltage codes anybody got any ideas or similar symptoms..I'm desperate!? Timing couldn't be worse!!! :sad:

MAF sensor, thankfully nice and simple! Bonus was the guy who came to view was a mechanic so I explained it and that it had been sorted and he was happy and checked it over thoroughly before buying it :)
