E30 318i (1987) starting problems

Hello all from Western Australia
New to this forum - haven't even had time to get my details up yet.

I have been having intermittent starting problems.

Turn the key - nothing.
Not a flat battery - lights etc don't dim
If I wait long enough (20 min +), all works fine, perhaps a few weeks, until the next time.

Jiggled auto T-Bar in D and N - no use.

Other possible factors.
Hot weather (90+)?
Air conditioner left on when start is attempted first time.?

Is there a relay that could be failing?

Any ideas appreciated
