    Check the "earths" ... run a temp earth directly to the engine from the battery to see if you have a earth problem. Happened to me and I hadn't touched anything ... found the main earth to the body had corroded???

    Could be the starter motor solenoid?

    If it happens again try throwing the hammer at the starter instead. ;)
