goes with a bump start ! check the condition of the crank sensor --- remove and clean and check the resistance with an ohm meter.

when it does not start you need to try and check the power at the starter switch wire to see if you have power when the key is in start position also is the earth wire been fitted correctly and tight to the earth point(starter/gearbox housing)
