I have a 2001 S with 54k under its belt. Pampered car that’s never missed a service. Randomly, it failures to start. The starter motor spins with great vigour buts there’s no spark. I’ve replaced plugs, all coils, crank sensor and fuel filter. My local specialist has now said it might be that modern fuel is the problem and I should try reddex!
Has anyone else had this issue?
