On all of those occasions it was turning over just as quickly as it was when I had tried to start it in the morning.
Remember it's not just the turning over that the battery needs to do, it's also providing you with a spark -or not as the case might be.
I'd still wager on the battery. Batterys that have limped along on Optimate topups behave like this.
But yours is probably just tired out and needs replacing.
