This problem was caused by the starting motor not turning over fast enough. It sounded OK to me but the RAC and other mechanics told me it was slow. The RAC man put a booster on the battery and reckoned that with the amount of current that it was drawing the motor should have been flying. I took out the starter motor and took it to an auto electric specialist. The gearing system was the problem and not repairable. The windings were OK. I bought a replacement off the shelf and fitted it myself. That particular problem was sorted in about an hour and a half altogether.
When starting now I disengage the clutch to try and reduce the load on the starter motor.
