It actually started on the first try just now. There was a fair bit of smoke but went for a 15 minute drive and the smoke cleared up eventually. Now I suspect that it was flooded, as on Thursday evening I was loading the car in the car park and started it twice for a minute each just to roll forward and back into the space so must have happened then.
Seems like it's running absolutely fine now, same power as normal, no misfiring, stops and starts okay. Probably need a new battery and I'll have to investigate the leak and try to figure out why/how it flooded as there was nothing particularly unusual happening the last time I ran it.
Probably will just leave it here in the car park until after my holiday and get the train instead, don't fancy breaking down at the services today!
