The starter motor seems to be functioning just fine (if a little slow) and if I push the accelerator while trying to start it I can sometimes almost get it to fire up but never completly.
It's definatly got enough fuel and I replaced the spark plugs and leads about a year ago.
WHAT GIVES?
Are there any things I should check (bearing in mind I have no tools and don't know my way around a car engine beyond filling up the oil and whatnot) before I go calling the AA to come fix it?
