So a few weeks ago I went to start my 182 after a few days of not driving it, and it would not crank at all. I put the key back to ignition, and then it wouldn't turn to start. Removed the key and tried again and would do the same, would turn to start but nothing would happen and then wouldn't turn to start again. Tried the next morning and it started right up no problem and has been fine until today. I was driving and ended up stalling. When I tried to turn the car back on again, the exact same thing happened. Called the AA and stood on the side of the road for 40 minutes and thought i'd try again. Turned the key and it started right up. I feel like this means its probably something a bit dodgy or loose somewhere, rather than something downright not working. From what I've read, some people say it could be the Crank Position Sensor, an earth or the spade connector to the starter motor. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or knows what might be happening here.

Had an old ex-British Gas Escort van back in the day...the company spent nothing on it. When this happened to me I found it was an earth connection under the engine that was loose.
Yeah I checked the earth that is at the end of the gearbox and that seemed to be all good
