Z-cars have a couple of known issues starting, if you get no cranking at all when you push the Start button, just lights on the instrument panel. (And then have to cycle through several times to get it to "catch.") One may be the actual starter motor, but there is also a starter position sensor that might fail, or another sensor that the name escapes me at the moment.

There are several threads on this. I believe your issue is much simpler than what the OP describes.
