Default Intermittent start problem....

As above, have an intermittent start problem on my 98 GTi, Seems to happen more often when its warm, but has happened after it has sat for a couple of hours, basically, when I go to start it, the fuel pump primes, but then nothing?! if i turn the key back and go again, it will then start, but it also starts if I hold the key in the last position IF i hold it there for around 10 seconds?!

The starter is a bosch item about 6months old, and the wiring seems to be ok, certainly nothing obvious. What else could it be?

Regards, Kieren.
