Hey all,

Car wouldn't go this morning on its own, had to give it a few attempts and put some revs in as I started it. It seemed to drive fine after that however.

First time it's ever done this in several years of ownership. Is this likely to be a one off or a sign of an issue?

Petrol 1.6 if it's any help.
 
It's quite easy to flood the engine with fuel by starting it up and running it for only a few seconds, which will make subsequent starting difficult. It's not a recommended practice - best to just push it, or leave it running for a few minutes if you do need to start it.
