I had similar trouble with my auto, after rebuilt starter motor and heat soak relay, it turned out to be the actual ignition switch itself. Replaced that and all is well.

I'll 2nd that, many moons on a manual 1.3 Driver had symptoms of a duff/dying starter motor but frigging the wiring alsways ran the motor.

Think back then was less than tenner at main dealer for the switch under the ign lock. Pretty easy to swap, ignore the cobblers in the Hyanes book of lies about drilling the steering lock.

I'll probably try both things, starter and ignition switch. But wouldn't it be problem starting all the time if there's something wrong with the ignition switch? When cold I can start it all the time, tried several times starting stopping, works fine. It just after driving a while it acts up.

Wonky autos that stop starting after being run in as little as 10 minutes, is usually because you are missing the heat soak relay.

If when the car is wonky and won't start you find the starter solenoid wire and jumper it to 12V + in park with the key in position 1 and the starter will spin and the engine will start.

engine side of the starter solenoid wire that you can jumper to 12V+ and the wire that you cut to install the heat soak relay.

That's what I thought as well but even with the Bosch WR1 Hard-start relay it won't work. Even redid the whole thing with new relay and cables.
