So did you find a problem and fix it or do you just hold the key and pray for it to crank?

Maybe humidity build up on the ECU or some other electronics? Because if I remember right you waterproofed your ECU didn't you? If so I wonder if you have some condensation building up inside the sealed ECU.

I had to take it to the dealer to hook up the Roverbook to fix it. But I went in with the TSB paperwork in hand and got the service manager to agree to a price of a flat $100 before I brought it in. I made him feel so guilty for charging such an outrageous amount for a 3 minute job that he had his guy's wash the truck for me too! One time I got over on the dealer and I don't expect it will ever happen again.
