Turned out to be the starter motor in my case.

Once started however it runs sweet as a nut. I’ve replaced the throttle as suggested and whilst the old one was oily changing it didn’t solve the problem. I’ve had the battery checked and that’s all good, I don’t think it’s the fuel pump as that’s less than two years old. I’ve plugged in a fault code reader and that says everything thing is fine. Any ideas? I’m extremely reluctant to take it to the garage without some idea as to what’s wrong as I don’t want to pay for random experimental parts swapping.

Thanks
