Shady's not got a problem with his GL! (thanks for the advice)

I went to my car this morning, for a lovely day out with my girlfriend, shopping at Bristol, but the fatherless son thing won't start!


It turns over, and sometimes when I turn the ignition off (after letting the motor go several times) it sounds as if it's about to start up but it just dies. It's not the start motor as that is relatively new, so what could it be?


Cheers all.

Have you got fuel in it, if so then sounds like the immob is cutting in maybe.

I can't help being mechanically unminded.
