320d touring 14 plate push start buzzing noise, not starting

Hi all.
After trawling the net for a fix I'm unable to find this one.
Recently bought this model, 14 plate with 80k on clock.
Been fine for a month and now the cold weather is here the push start problem has occurred.
Its a manual so I depress clutch and push to start.
I get a horrific buzzing noise and no start. Sometimes 2/3 times then it's fine.
I get a message on display saying contact dealer as there is a problem with ignition.

Hoping someone can shed some light on this before I start throwing money at it.

I'll try post a recording of it this weekend.

Any help and advice is much appreciated.

Cheers all

Sounds possibly like a starter solenoid or starter.
