Thanks Bill. The voltage is at the battery. The voltage drops below 12 after 2 or 3 starts from cold, and this is when the engine turns over but will not fire, hence my question whether this lower voltage could be preventing some component from operating.
At the moment I am still trying to determine exactly what conditions prevent starting before doing anything more complicated. I have to admit some of the options you suggest are probably beyond my competence!
After an initial start, voltage over 12.5, it runs fine and if left to warm up (and charge the battery I guess) it will restart without any issues. So it seems to me that there may be nothing fundamentally faulty with the vehicle.
