That was another theory I've read about. Some managed to get it started after locking and unlocking the car again via remote. Doesn't seem to work on mine though.
The starter motor
begins to kick-in and there seems to be enough welly from the battery but it just doesn't manage to turn over, hence the TDC theory.
I can accept the expense of running a 10 year old car but
not knowing what's wrong does my head in!

One thing I'm trying now - and I have no rationale for doing so - is to kick the revs high
then kill the engine when turning it off. No idea if that'll affect anything...
