Thanks Peter, I'll do that.
I just went out to see if it would start ok now having been left a few hours and the first 3 times I turned the key I got a really loud grinding sound.
Is that likely to be a different issue?

Hi,
This is my first post so forgive me if this is a known issue.
For a while now I've had trouble starting the car (2006 x-type 2.0D estate) in the morning. I turn the key and the dashboard lights come on but the engine doesn't try to turn over.
Usually after a few attempts it suddently works.
This morning I had the same but when it did try to turn over it was failing and the orange coil dashboard indicator flashed.After about 6 or 7 attempts it fired up.
Are these the symptoms of a known issue? Does anyone have any advice?
Not sure if it's related but about a month ago it started to run really rough when I accellerate. I put it down to a dodgy tank of fuel (I'd just filled up at a Tesco fuel station) so I put some Redex in and fueled at a BP station the next time and it's got much better, although is still a little rougher than it used to be).
Many thanks
Andy

Thanks again.
Yes - I read somewhere that an ageing battery could also give starting issues like this.
Not sure I understand why that would account for the nasty grinding noise, but I might get a new battery anyway.
