Just went to start my car and it wouldn't fire straight away, the second time it did... Went and did a quick job and it did it again... What do you think?? Starter motor?? I've just spent £405 getting some jobs done

Does the starter run as normal but engine wont fire, or is the starter dead? If starter runs normally get the codes read and suspect crank sensor. ( if v6 atleast)

Cranking and not firing? Crank sensor.

See code reading in maintanance section index. You want the pedal trick. Count flashes. Look for 0335.

If present. New genuine sensor only, from a vx dealer only. Theory is the heat from the engine breaks them down over time. So expect the symptoms to get worse and eventually refuse to start completely.

Hope helps.

Almost certainly crank sensor IMO . . .  as said above  replace with genuine GM only
