Ok, so I've seemed to have fixed the problem.
I checked everything around the starting system, wires, earths etc etc. mostly what you guys have recommended. I didn't really find any issues. Again, I checked the battery - full charge, amps etc etc. Heres the thing: After buying a battery booster for my work van, I just so happened to have had it in the car when it refused to start whilst I was filling up with juice. :idea3: Thinking what the hell, I tried using the jump starter. Hey presto! It fired into life quite quickly. So, I again checked the battery when I got home, everything was normal. I pulled the battery out (it didn't have a colour indicator) and went down to the battery place who took a look at it. Well, she was a dud. Anyway, $155 lighter and a new battery....good as gold! :rockon:
What seemed a perfectly good, 6 month old battery turned out to be a p.o.s. If anyone has the same problem, try using a different battery. There are always duds out there!
