I also had a fuel filter housing fail, and these were the fault codes, if that helps?

Hi Any ideas appreciated on this one please... I have a 2007 Fiat Ducato 2.3 (130 multijet 250 f1ae0481n engine) which I've had for over a decade. This season, I've had 3 occasions when the engine will not start and I cant work out why. When you turn the engine key, the dashboard lights up as usual, and the cil light goes out as usual after a couple of seconds, yet when you turn the key to engage the starter motor noting happens, not a sound. The battery is fine, 3 years old (as is the starter motor), a multimeter reports 12.6 volts idle, 12.2 volts with engine off and all lights and fans on, and under starting load (when the starter motor does work), down to 10.5 to 11.5 volts, never lower. Sometimes it starts fine time after time, sometimes it just wont move the starter motor at all. Something electrical occasionally stops the starter from turning. It has 1 original OEM key which as never had an issue before. Battery terminals have been removed, sanded and I'm sure they have a good electrical contact. The only recent engine maintenance is a full service and replacement of the fuel filter housing which had a small leak. As an example, yesterday I drove 20 miles from home, stopped for fuel, and 5 mins later tried to start the engine and nothing happened. I tried many times and no joy. I jumped the battery from the leisure battery and still no joy. Then after a few minutes it sprang back to life and started, and has started 6 times on the trot with no issues. Any ideas please as to what can cause this?
