Should have updated this a while back. After the two months away, the car did start up but the battery was weak. After a charge all was good. Tho' a few days later it was sluggish again. Volt meter at 11.4v.
So I got a new battery. Whilst I had the old battery out, I lifted the battery tray.
There are a couple of earth straps going into the inner wing below that tray.
These cables were really cruddy, to say the least.
I gave these a proper clean up and then fitted the new battery.
The car has started 1st turn EVERY time since.
No idea if the issue was the dirty earth straps all along, but it appears sorted & hopefully this thread will help others that suffer the same symptoms.
