Just got outta work there and the car refused to start. was only in work for 4 hours. Car had been sitting in dry weather all day. Only drove it today to get to work. tried to bump start her but it wasnt havin any of it, and as i was about to give up she worked on my last try !
This was well embaressin since my car was parked at the bit everyone walks past to get to their cars.
When she started the back box pissed out blue smoke and she was sluggish half the way home.
Someone please enlighten me!
ps. She's a 1.2 8V.
pps. Yes i know this cars sluggish anyway

It turned over but didn't start? Try holding the ignition on - yellow light - for five seconds before starting it, sounds like what mine did for a while. Check all the fluids.
