Default C70 starting problem

Please can someone shed a light?

Intermittent starting, sometimes starts no problem, other times starts after the 3rd go. It cranks up but then dies straight after. When it starts up on 3rd or 4th attempt, it goes like a dream. Then I stop for petrol, repeat above. Intermittent, nothing consistent.

Can anyone help at all??

Thanks

This will be too late for you but after 12 years of the same intermittent issue with my 2004 c70 I think I have cracked it! It is the immobiliser wrongly kicking in when the boot is or has been deadlocked! I’m not sure yet of the combination that effectively resets the error but once it stops doing it never deadlock the boot with the key and you won’t have the problem again!
