Mine was doing this at one point I thought it was the alternator not charging the battery but it was the starter motor it was like sometimes it would turn over and others felt like the battery was flat
Hope that was some help ??

Can't be a very good mechanic if you still have the issue after seeing them!

It's only 2wiers and an earth ( i think) just take them off give them a clean and put them back on as might be a dodggy connection failing that mine was relplaced for £125

All we can do on here is look into our crystal ball and predict what it is that is causing the fault.
Could be alternator could be battery earth strap could even be a spark plug issue.. Who knows? A mechanic would! Book it in at a garage they will plug it into diagnostics and fix the right part without a massive bill replacing parts by simply "guessing?"

just clean the battery terminals,and tight the (+) and (-)clip of the wires very well,because if they are lose,they will do the same as you described it.

Id agree with Spike. Check your Earths for starter motor to start with.
