Battery is old. ???????
I had exactly the same problem. Mine would be fine for weeks over the summer, but come the winter if it wasnt run every week the battery wouldnt hold enough power and would be dead when i did come to start it.
I bought a new heavy duty (bigger battery) Bosch silver for my RST and has been fine since.
Also does your started motor turn over slower in winter even if the car has just been out and run for a few miles? Mine did and the new battery cured this.
