Hi got a problem starting whether hot or cold cranking is really slow and sometimes no cranking at all, then real slow almost like the battery is low but its new and fully charged, checked distributor and rotor had new hit leads in the summer. its weird as my radio resets itself every time I start the engine so it loses all power each time. had new connection s for battery as I thought it may be a problem there don't think its cold start valve as it happens with a cold engine and a hot engine what's next to check?

It sounds like a bad earth on the starter motor. I had this on a VW van many moons ago. I found the earth wire hanging on by 1 strand !
