Right, I think I've got a starting issue... here's what happened,
**Apologies now for the lack of technical knowledge**
I came to leave work tonight, got in, waited for everything to warm up but came to turn the key and got nothing, all the lights went out and fuel gauge drops like it does but it didn't even attempt to turn over, so took the key out, looked puzzled at it, put it back in and tried again but still nothing, third time lucky it starts at a drop of the hat with a bit of a puff out the back. This isn't the first time it's done this either . . .
The symptoms sound similar to what my mum had with Daisy when she wouldn't start either, the AA man found it to be the trigger wire (according to his road side report), he just cut it off and fitted a new one and it started first time and hasn't missed a beat since.
I would check the trigger wire on mine but I don't know what I'm looking for or where to find it

I'll also check the connections in the multi-plug under the battery over the weekend like this thread suggests :

But all these false starts can't be doing my battery any favours and I don't have a voltmeter so I can't check anything
The car has had a different ignition barrel fitted at some point and had the glow plugs done just before I got it. If that's relevant ?
Anyone got any ideas?
(If a Mod wants to move any of this to Technical then feel free)
