Over the past 4 weeks, the car is having some issues starting first time.
During the day maybe 6 out of 10 times the car will not start first time (I recorded a video)
Any ideas on this (I have checked the battery and it is ok)
Could it be spark plugs, or something else.
cheers

Ive had troubles getting mine to start first go as well sometimes but im pretty sure mine was the metal ball on my key. Have a look to see if the red lock is flashing when you try to start it if it is then it is probably an immobilizer issue.

Problems like yours can be very difficult to track down. I suggest that it will be one of two things, Fuel or Electronic. You need to start checking such aspects and ensuring that they are performing to spec. If you or a family member belong to an Auto Club (RACQ, RACV, NRMA etc) get them to send out a Patrol Man and their mechanic should be able to offer some meaningful suggestions/advice. Good luck.V
