Shouldn't you always start a car with you foot on the clutch anyway? Relieves any load from the gearbox so the starter hasn't gotta work so hard. The new Vauxhall Meriva hire car I had the other day wouldn't start unless I pushed the clutch down, I suppose that's a safety thing lol

Sounds like you got it sorted tho, so 'appy dayz!!
