    Disconnect the battery terminals and make sure all is perfectly clean.
    Then try again, if the same result it is likely, not definitely, the battery that's not holding a constant charge, am assuming the alternator check showed an output of at least 13 volts?

    My R53 used to do this as well. Found out it was when I had the front and back screen heaters and CD player on at the same time as trying to start up.
    Switched all electrics off waited a couple of mins then away it went.
