Starting problems on a Nissan Micra
I have a Nissan Micra 2003 new-shape which has been OK for at least a year, but is now having starting problems.
It will not start at all. I called the AA out, but they cannot find anything wrong. On the computer it is trying to start, but seems to be as if the car is not getting any fuel.
I have checked all the fuses, but Nissan will not look at it because it was a Cat D. The service engineer told me that a lot of cars had to be recalled because of the same problems and it seems that they do not want to take any responsibility.
What should I look for?

I have a Rover 25 2001 model. Sometimes when I try to start the engine it wont turn over, as if the starter is jammed. It starts with a bump then it starts normally for a bit, then it will go wrong again.
My 2005 Nissan Micra (petrol) has been very slow to start from cold recently. It does start first time, but is sluggish until the ignition "kicks in" and turns over in a slow, less positive manner.

My 2004 Micra wont turn over in very hot weather. I turn the ignition and nothing happens. This only happens when the car has been sat in very hot sunshine. It's as if the immobiliser is stopping the car...
