So what your saying .is to charge the battery & try it again? Use jumpleads to a good battery or a separate booster pack once the car's hot. If it starts OK the original battery is most likely the cause. Simply charging the old battery won't help

Hi Michael. Tomorrow a friend will give me the fuel pressure tester. I'll check the pressure and i'll write about the result. Then i will try a new battery for sure. Thank you all for your help

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Hi Michael. This morning i had MOT and it passed without problem. I had a bit issue to start the engine the first time then at home it started without problem. In this afternoon i'll go to pick up the fuel tester and maybe tomorrow a new battery. I need to take some measurement to choose the right type. Thank you all for the support

It's been discussed before on this forum, but have you tried switching the ignition/ petrol pump on and off 3 or 4 times before engaging the starter motor, this seems to work every time for me.

Yes this is fine, but there must be a fault if you have to do this.

I was advised by my mechanic to switch on till pump stops, off & repeat twice when starting from cold. It helps for me but dont need to do it hot though restart is not instant.

Hi. Yesterday a mechanic checked my fuel pump pressure and it was ok. It turns out to be related to opened valve issue. When hot my engine has some valves which remains opened, that's why i had start issue when the engine is hot. Just 10 minutes later it starts ok. The mechanic needs to know the distance from rod and rocker to valve to set the engine in the right way. I don't know if i used the right words ( sorry for my english ). Thank you all for your help

I guess It needs the 700km journey... Contact them first & tell them the issue & see what they have to say. Then if you can live without it for a while, send it over there or when its not the season to drive it.
