Mine has failed to start 3 times now, all intermittently.... Anmoying AF!

Looking at the eBay one to due to the warranty.
I noticed firstly first signs were that in the morning it wouldn't turn over like normal it would be very slow then fire up . The. One morning it just wouldn't start everything lit up . Then hit the starter with a stick and if it doesn't start listen for it to try and turn over. That's when I knew it was starter . Was a bitch to DIY and instead of 5 hrs it took me a day and half mainly due to breaks and I needed to walk away before I torched the bitch

Was it only in the mornings? Mines quite the opposite with it only having issues intermittently after she's been driven and is hot.
