Id say its a resistance issue as resistance inceases with heat which would explain the issue only occuring when hot.
Check the cables that run off the starter for corrosion or breakages.

I had a bit of a look at them today when I was doing it, most of them 'looked' okay. But that said, I couldn't see what the insides are doing.
Might get an auto sparky to check em out, that way they can at least test wires and will be able to pin point the issue.
Cheers for the assistance guys!

I plan to get myself a multimeter next time I'm there that's for sure.
My gregorys manual rocked up today. Definitely a good read, should certainly come in handy.
I've booked the car in to auto spark in redcliffe on friday.
might have to taxi it to work or something though because I dont think I can get a lift to-from work to get to the car.
OH well.. hopefully they fix the issue so my car is then reliable. Then I can focus on the other things.

- Too many to list......
I had the exact same problem with my wagon.. would start first pop all the time but as soon as it was hot it didn't want to start yet would start fine with jumper leads.
It was the battery. Even though it tested ok it just had no balls left.

Well fingers crossed that's all it is 
Will gladly pay 2-300 for a nice new battery which completely fixes the issue hahaha
The guys at autospark over the phone said they're going to check it again and the alternator and everything else anyway.
Might get them to fix an issue with power getting to my passenger rear door (and possibly fix the window also whilst they're at it)
