Hi all,
I was hoping you guys in your infinite wisdom could suggest some pointers to an issue with my mums car.
She has an e90 330d, 6 years old with under 20k miles.
2 weeks ago the car failed to start first time, since then nearly everytime it starts when cold, but after that will take 2 or 3 goes before it starts.
My dad called the RAC one time and the guy said he has seen it before its one of the injectors thats has gone, and he said when another one goes out of 4 are gone it will never start (i would have though it would have 6 being a 6 cyclinder :? )
Its at the dealership today for them to diagnose the problem (they charged £100 for the privilege) and they rang today and said they cant find the fault
They tested the injectors and ran all the diagnosis but they dont know what is wrong... Even though when they tried to start it it took 5 attempts, so they are keeping it overnight to run more tests.
The symptoms are the lights come on, but the engine fails to turn over... As if the battery needs a charge.
The battery was tested and its ok.
I've spent the afternoon googling it too... No idea! I thought maybe it could be electrical... To do with the immobiliser maybe?
Help? Any ideas!

Wouldn't be a very good fuel then. I've much first hand experience with it catching fire-- it's my favourite fire starter. It doesn't flash like petrol will when ignited. I'm sure you'll be staying away from that dealer in the future.
