ive been having a problem with the car starting, ie u turn the ignition and have to hold it on for about 2 secsbefore it even turns over, but starts first time, no problem then.

but its now not starting, just been out for a drive, came in wanted to go back out after 5 minuites, and nothing. it isnt a flat battery. so anyone know anything?

try your other key mate.

 

when i had my fiesta it did the same thing. the key had some how buggered up.

 

Give it a whirl.

could be the fuse box m8y, we have been having shite loads of rain, heavy rain at that so water could have got into your fuse box and be interfearing with your ignition relay, when you turn your key to ACC and ON does your normal electrics come on?
