I have an intermittent starting problem with a Laguna II. Basically I press the start button and there is no response from the starter motor at all - no noise, no lights dim, nothing. I have had the RAC out for this twice and they have fiddled around near the starter motor and it then starts. However, my local garage had the car up on the ramp and there were no obvious problems with the starter - no loose connections. The relays and fuses have been checked and appear OK. This problem can occur when the engine is warm - ie I drove it for about an hour and it wouldn't start again. It can also occur when the engine is cold - it wouldn't start one morning but later in the day it did, without me doing anything else to it. I have a vague idea that this might be an immobiliser problem but there do not appear to be any fault codes coming up on the scanner. Any ideas?
