As an update. Apparently the second hand starter motor did the trick. It now starts everytime. Problem is he cant buy this starter motor, so is going to get a reconditioned one off ebay. Fingers crossed. Apparently although he said he had checked the bushes inside the motor and said they were okay etc etc etc, on taking it to bits they were worn on one side, which would explain why bumping it back and forwards would get it to start. Sorry this explanation is not a reflection on the mechanic but my interpretation of what he told me. Said I was clueless in a previous message. Although I did originally think that if it wasn't the battery it must be the starter motor :
