Default S4 - Problem starting - any help please

Hello all, this is my first visit and post on the website, I was wondering if anyone could help...
I have a 2004 Audi S4 softtop - great motor...

However, I have a tempremental starting problem. When the car is cold there is the chance that when I turn the key to full ignition I get no response at all. All the electrics seem to be working, with Radio / Air Con / warning lights all functioning, but the final turn to start the car has no response.

This can just be something that lasts for 2 or 3 seconds before the car fires into life, or (on occasions) this can last and last. I have had 2 occasions where I have tried to start the car unsuccessfully for over 10 minutes.

The car was bought from Manchester Audi and is still under warranty. It has been back to them and they claim they cannot fault the problem. They have replaced the battery, which has not been successful, and recently they replaced the ignition relay, which also seems to have been unsuccessful...

Does anyone have any experience of a similar problem? I have a heavily pregnant wife, and a car that is not guaranteed to start is a major issue in my life at the moment - any help / thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers...
