Recently I've bad 2 occasions where when I first turn the key, my car won't start, no matter how long i keep turning it over for... Usually if you stop and do it again then it will start, but the other day it took about 4 turns and she started... I've also noticed it doesn't fire up as quick as she used too
Any ideas? Seems pretty obvious its an electrical/ignition problem

Hmmm, well i skipped it on my last service, and before that it sat around for about a year on the driveway.... I've been driving 2 years now and its coming up to its second service since I've had it... Nothing could have happened to it when it just sat on the driveway could it?
