Are you sure the terminals on the battery are tight. Make sure they dont turn on the battery poles at all. Also make sure the earth is good. Maybe run a jump lead to the chassis when it wont start and see if it cures the issue.

could try Vaseline petroleum jelly smeared around the battery terminals to help conduct a little better
also a good wire brush may help too Dunno

This was my first thought. Yes

I am suspecting a dodgy Earth if it turns over but won't fire. There are a few to check, start with the battery negative terminal, then there are a couple on top of the gearbox and one on the passenger side inner chassis front leg.

It is worthwhile disconnecting all of these, cleaning them up and the mating area on which they sit and then retightening them all down. Give that a try and see how you get on first. Smile

Bad Earth, crank sensor or possibly fuel cut off switch...

Check the plug on the fuel cut off switch, make sure it is in there tight, and not loose only just about making a connection. Wink

It is supposed to, it is believed you need the battery disconnected for around 10 minutes to achieve this. Yes
