I have an aftermarket immobiliser on mine that started going feral on hot days. The starter circuit got weaker and weaker until it no longer worked and got bypassed.

I also had erratic starter problems caused by a loose earth strap. The main earth return for the starter motor is from the body near the boot to the PPF (that's the ladder-like beam between the gearbox and diff) just in front of the diff. If the bolt on that works loose then you get a different starter experience every time you try it.
