Engine problems

[papperbear]

I need some advice - my car runs fine for most of the time but every so often it just wont start.  This usually happens when I've been in the car, parked it up, left it for about 30 - 60 mins.  When I come to start the car it just ticks over but doesnt actually start.  I have to leave it for 5 - 10mins then it will start eventually - has anyone else had the same problem?

I thought it might be a wet starter motor?

Cheers

I had similar problem.  Temp sensor was broken, so the engine didn't realise it was warm, and so got the fuel-air mix wrong when trying to start it up again.

Richy - was your sensor replaced under warrany?  If not can you remember how much it was?
