I moved my S4 to get access to the back, went to start again but it wouldn't start! I could smell petrol so flooded it but even after leaving it for ages still wouldn't fire up.
I called Paul Anderson as I am taking the car there very soon for a service, he told me to take out the relay for the fuel pump, turn it over with my foot to the floor and try again. It took a couple of goes but that sorted it.

Is this a usual problem that others have suffered with?

I have heard of it, but it has never happened to me. Yet.

Never happened to me either, but have heard of it happening to others before; usually thought to be caused by moving the car very short distances, so I always leave the engine running for a bit longer if I haven't moved the car very far.
