recently did Major service but my car seem to have a problem ocasionaly to start first time when turning the key. So eventualy the batery start to wear down,at this stage we push start and then only does the car start!
The idling and performance is still up to standard i just want to know what could be the problem?????
Diagnostics is not showing anything wrong at a repair centre>>>>>>>>>>>

it sounds likeyouve got a battery on its way out. drive the car around a bit to make sure the battery is charged. then go and have it load tested. don't try to test a poorly charged battery. they always fail a load test
