Sounds cam sensor, related if it's possible next time it does it squirt some water on the cam sensor to cool it down and see if that improves starting.

Crank position sensor. It's behind the alternator. Non genuine replacements available for ~£40 on abay, genuine ones about twice that.

Sounds like it could be a weak or failing battery and/or a failing alternator. If the electrical system is weak you can get all sorts of strange problems.
Can you check the battery and alternator? Or possibly just charge the battery?

Any ground wire disconnected or come loose in the dashboard wiring loom?
any broken fuses?
has any wiring been done like aux lights or stereo lately?
All ground wires between engine and chassi still in place?
edit: any signs of green oxidation around battery or the main fuses in the engine compartment?
Mine had something like this when my dashboard cluster was broken from an idiot (signed) disconnecting the ODB connector with the car running. Had to change the cluster as the chips inside was broken. Car function was OK as long as I had the ODB connected. But did not get far without it and some functions where out..
