Am i on the right forum?
I thought i was on S&M forum judging from last few posts

Right!
Where is the starter motor?
And how hard do i whack?

Yes - the car tries to turn BUT does not turn over.
Plenty of power/electric ...

It's the twin cylindrical looking thing bolted to your gearbox. Whack it hard enough

Not too hard that you dent it.

So does it sound like your starter is just spinning (I higher pitched spinning noise to normal)?

Any chance of a clear sounding video of it happening?

If it is, then yeah, sounds like it's your starter... And you owe Iain a pint for reading your opening post properly

Well
With camera ready, action!

Luke was shy.
15min drive - stop, started!
15min drive - stop, started!
Stop, started again!

U can hear me say in the back ground "starts everytime!" Grrrr

Solution... Just keep the camera in the car and turn it on before you turn the key each time

If it is the main relay at fault and you want to test it, put the heating up to max and direct it into the footwells. Get the inside of the car as hot as you can before trying to restart the engine. Listen for the fuel pump.

And there was me thinking it was the petrol station that was the common denominator.
