after 8 years of ownership....

first time a problem has occurred on the S500, car was not starting for 10 minutes! Ignition would turn on but would not fire up?! Now it turns on fine, but has a longer start before firing up. Any help would be appreciated guys, maybe change the battery? Spark plugs were changed before not sure when...

Sounds like ignition sensor. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, car stalled in front of a theatre. Car cranked just find in about 10min. Went and had it immediately, kinda embarassing.

It was that problem! Bought the sensor and had it replaced and everything is back to normal
