I've only had the landy a few days, but 3 times now it's been hard to start after switching the engine off for fuel or to nip in the shops etc.
Starts fine from cold but sounds like it's doing nothing (like when one of my old motorbikes used to vapour lock its carbs when it was hot) and once it starts to catch I've been using a wife of throttle to start it.
Nearly flattened the battery the first 2 times now I'm switching the ignition off arming the immobiliser waiting 20 secs then turning off the immobiliser and trying again. Usually 3rd time round it goes. The fuel pump sounds fine, any common faults to check or tips if it's a common problem?
