Head scratching time.

Hi Guys', i have an annoying problem with my 1996 3.9 manual trans. Discovery. At odd times (becoming more frequent) The thing refuses to start. I unlock using the remote, jump in, turn the key and .... nothing. The ign lights etc on the dash illuminate, the fuel pump runs/primes but the starter fails to turn. Lock/unlock a few times and it ( might) crank/start. I've even tried rocking it in 2nd gear to see if the starter has a "dead spot" in it, this helped once ! The battery is 100% and most of the time she behaves ok. I have a starter relay coming and will try that first.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
