Dud battery?

Obvious thing to check is the battery charge.
If ok then check battery terminals for proper contact, then look at the earth lead to the body then the wiring to the starter.
If all that checks out then the starter motor solenoid is cactus.

All of them are OK, could it be something to do with a fuse or ignition switch?

Yeah, I had a similar problem when I got mine a couple of years back.

First I thought it was the dual batts so I replaced them, (they were a bit sad anyway) this fixed it for a short while, then it began again.

........anyway...........

.........In the end it turned out to be the resistor. It wouldn't return charge back to the batteries or starter or wherever it goes from there quick enough. If I lwt it sit for ages, then it waould start but if I had been driving it and turned it off, no hope.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Voltage drop on the crank wire to the starter solinoid. Bridge 12v+ from the battery or the main +ve stud on the starter to the solinoid energise terminal. If it cranks ok then there might be voltage drop....Or crook solinoid contacts....
