Neat suggestion, that should nail it. Thanks Phil!
That's my line of thinking, I need to follow it up.
I do have a second starter available and although the battery is in the back I used a 50mm (300+ Amp capacity) cable to minimise Volt drop to the starter. That said, I do have a battery isolator on the earth side which may have some resistance. Now I an reasonably confident about the electrics I might make a clean and direct earth connection bypassing the cut out to see if that does make any difference.
I still keep coming back to a nagging point which is why does a relatively small difference in engine temperature make the difference between starting perfectly and not even firing.
