There are a few possible causes for your starting issue, but the most common are a weak battery, a faulty starter, or a fuel delivery problem. Before jumping to any conclusions, it's important to check your battery to ensure it has enough charge and that the terminals are clean and tight. You may also want to have your starter and fuel pump tested to see if they are functioning properly.

If your battery, starter, and fuel pump are all working properly, the next thing to check is your ignition system. This includes your spark plugs, ignition coil, and spark plug wires. These components can wear out over time and cause starting issues. It's a good idea to have them inspected and replaced if needed.

Another possible cause for starting issues on a Vauxhall Astra is a faulty ignition switch. This can prevent the engine from receiving the proper voltage to start. If you suspect this is the problem, you should have your ignition switch tested and replaced if necessary.
