I used to have an Australian friend who bought a Delorean DMC-12 in 94 IIRC. That thing was hideously unreliable. We couldn't even go to the pub, without lifting the engine cover for some "tweaking" before the thing would start.
You wouldn't believe the number of times I heard the words "It's your flux capacitor mate" while my head under the engine cover. Bloody French junk, wouldn't even start after a simple trip the the pub, without making a drama out of it.
Good times though, even though at the time it wasn't much fun.

Do you hear the low pressure fuel pump running when the key is turned? You should hear the motor humming noise, just in front of the RH rear wheel.

Did you check the low pressure fuel pump is running? Not all faults show codes, as some are physical issues, which the code reader can't diagnose.

I have no clue what your asking?, perhaps other's will...
Sorry for the typo.I have no clue what your asking?, perhaps other's will...
Well managed to take it to my local garage. Scan didn’t show anything. Don’t know what to do? The engine for that matter starts when multiple attempts are made with some sort of timing the AA guy told me. Any clue?

A code scan won't show up a faulty low pressure fuel pump, which is why I asked you to listen for it running.
A code read won't show up split high pressure regulator O rings.
Both of these are very likely issues, which can stop it starting.
The AA bloke is talking out of his ass.

French? I thought they were made in Northern Ireland by an American mob boss and paid for by the British taxpayer.
