Xantia not starting first time!!
For the first time in 2 years the beloved Xantia didn't start when I turned the key. It's been a bit 'muggy' lately when it first starts, shudders a bit, but today, it started for one second, then died, again, then died. I had to give it a bit of acceleration to start it, then it was ok. Had the same prob tonight. Can anyone tell me what's happening? Cheers.

. Too dark to try the primer, will give it a go tomorrow then take the required action.

Just as well! If you've just switched off, the primer bulb will be firm. It's in the morning, or after standing several hours, that it might not be.
