OK. Done a vagcom scan....nothing relevent, BUT, its a starter motor issue.....I think.

For those interested, keep you posted.

That is weird, a starter motor that turns the engine over is stopping it from starting!
I'd expect something basic like the timing has slipped a tooth or two, or the engine coolant temperature sensor is duff.

Edit:- what or how did it start when your wife was coming back from work?
