Did not start

09 Diesel auto had bit of trouble starting this morning (did start eventually). Just trying to figure out what it could have been?:

- it was cranking (could hear starter motor running)
- battery is strong
- it was definately in "P"

My first thought was - imobliser as it cuts either the fuel pump or the injectors off.

To fix it i took out the key locked the doors re-opened, put the key in the ignition and it started first time. Anyone had something similar? (just in case it happens again)

Pjorek, did you pause before turning it over, or just crank it before the glow plug light went off. Sometimes it takes a little while for the fuel pressure to build. - Just as thought.
