OK so it's still a pain. After a couple of trouble free short trips it died again as the wife pulled up on the drive, this time there was no life in the battery. Original 11 year old battery so we replaced it. Once the car started I checked the voltage when running, alternator charging at 14.2 volts with all lights on etc. A couple of trips it was OK then died again as it was parked on an errand. This time the wife managed to get the fault codes and write them down BUT she had a ECU not connected error for a while, which when that disappeared off the screen was when the car would start. Fault codes are all related to no power to the ECU I think

I'm going to check wiring etc for bad connections in the supply to the ECU so now looking for a wiring diagram. Hoping it's not an ECU faulty :-(
