Starting problem

Hi, my 10 month old C3 Aircross refused to start from cold this morning after three attempts (1.2 110 petrol), it was turning over OK but just wouldn't start. I'm not sure if it's possible to flood engines these days but I left it for 10 minutes, locked & unlocked the car just in case this helped to 'reset' something and it was fine after that. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this? I'll mention it at the upcoming service... :?

Mine is 17 months old and I never had an issue starting.

Thanks Jay R, I haven't used the car for a couple of days but just to check, I tried it yesterday & this morning and it started fine, maybe it was just a 'glitch' :roll:

Ive had a few times where I press clutch, push the start button and it switches on but doesn't start the engine. I just figure maybe I was doing it too fast and pushing start before it registered the clutch was down
