Morning Guys,
Having more issues with the car this morning, it seems to try starting and the battery sounds healthy but just doesn’t get started! I’ve uploaded a video here...

The only issue im currently aware of with the car is the engine management light is on, which reads...
P0420 Powertrain Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1)
I didn’t think this would affect starting the car though?
This has gradually been getting more of a problem – originally it would start after about 4-6 tries. This morning I must have tried about 15 times to start the car before it eventually got going! However, after I got to work (about 25 mile drive) I stopped the engine and restarted the car and it started up first time! I can’t help thinking the cold might have something to do with it as this issue usually always happens first thing early morning?
Any help MUCH appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave
