Just a thought. Have you check the various earth straps, not sure where they are on these cars. Also, I had a similar problem with my Freelander, it turned out to be corroded terminal on the starter. Must be worth a shot.

the starter has been off and supposed to be refurbed so the terminals would have been checked earth ? well im tempted to run a jump lead from the battery to the engine , that will eliminate the ground hopefully. will try that next.
