Fails to start first time

[Silver Surfer]

It looks like the fuel is not getting through once the car starts with the starter motor.... Try another master relay.

How old is the fuel in the tank?
Have you tried to download any fault codes.
Something odd seems to happen with the ECL when you first try to crank the car - briefly goes out when fuel pump primes, then comes back on, you then crank unsuccessfully. The light stays out like normal the second time when car starts successfully.
I'd guess fuel related.

It had fresh V power in April or May but it’s been like this for a while but due to lack of time hadn’t really looked into it. I thought fuel too but wasn’t convinced it was the relay as it’s o predictable to start without issue the 2nd time.

Also, if I switch on the ignition so it primes a few times and then try to start it is happy. I’ve not looked into any diagnostics yet, thought I’d seek advice first.

cheers.

I’ve ordered one with an ETA of a couple of months. Hopefully that’s all it is then.

Thanks
