update on this: it is still reluctant to start unless we push it
backwards for about 1 car length. Then it fires right up, and starts
well for the next few hours. Then it will need another push.
It has an appointment with the garage this afternoon.

"nothing" from the starter? No clicks?
Do the lights dim when you try to crank?
could be a bad solenoid,worn solenoid contacts,or plunger sticking/not
disengaging.
try rapping it with a mallet.
