Car won't start first time recently, had a problem with the starter before and got it fixed, that was a few months ago now. Now it takes a few times to start, just wondering if there's anything i can do myself as i don't really have the cash to go to a garage at the moment. Cheers

I have no idea what's wrong with it but the people who do are going to need more information

What make/model/year is the car? What had to be done to fix it before? Etc.

It's possibly the battery if the car is still giving trouble starting. Probably the original problem all along

the battery is only a year old or so... would it have these problems so early on?
