Starting Problem

Hi my 53 plate Rover 45 1.6 petrol, has developed a starting problem. Started of intermittent but now its more frequent



Symptoms : turn the key everything turns over ok but wont start, leave it a minute try again no start, leave it another minute then it'll start ?

On these occasions I've I'm pretty sure there's no whirring sound coming from the rear of the car when you turn the key.

So I'm guessing its the fuel pump on the way out or is there something else I can check 1st ?



Car runs very well, once started.



Thanks
