Sounds like a earthing problem. Maybe check under the peddles and dash if theres loose wires touching?

Definitely a wiring problem. Most likely a bad earth connection.

hi Gents ok I figured out when it does not want to start and the relay starts buzzing behind the dash I have to open the bonnet and remove the + terminal from the battery connected to the solenoid or starter and then connect it back to the battery ( battery is brand new bought it 3 weeks ago ) battery clinic tested the battery and its fully charged ,alternator charging the battery too.. what I notice when it doesn't start and the relay (53) is buzzing my central locking sounds week like the battery is going flat, I thought it could be my alarm but I doubt it could it maybe be the solenoid / starter ? will diagnostic and multi- meter machine pick up the problem ?

thanks for your help guys
