How would you describe the hard starting? Does the car fail to crank at all? Does the starter turn for ever without the car starting? Does the engine start and then immediately die?

Disconnect the battery totally from the car then check the voltage, if its lower than 12v then your battery is naffed (as I found out, the car does give you a bit of a false reading if you leave the battery on and should hence be disconnected).

I had an intermittent starting problem, some times the car started ok right a way and others I had to crank the **** out of it before it would start. Turned out to be the cam shaft sensor cost 70 quid off the net.

Have you done what I suggested and removed the terminals off the battery then checked the voltage?
You WILL get a false reading with the terminal leads connected.

Similar problem with one of our classics, turned out to be the battery, was at 31% starting charge, still fine once started but noticeable upon first start up of the day.
Got myself a new battery now, may be worth getting a full battery cell read out from your local garage. As it's the cells/amp being supplied from the battery that will start it, no point checking a battery once it's running off the alternator tbh.
Could even go to halfrauds, since they do free battery tests.
