Any ideas !

Doesn't sound like the battery to me, sounds more like a faulty connection. Check the starter cables. Easy for me sitting here to try and guess but only you can here it, when it wont start can you flash you lights? if yes then there is power in the battery, if it was flat there would not be enough power to flash.
When you turn on the ignition does the alternator light come on like it should? if yes then then ok, if no perhaps the previous owner took it out to hide a fault?
