Default Issue starting car

Having an issue with my Disco 2. Sometimes when I try to start it it just clicks and the car doesnt start, I have to wiggle the key back and forth a bit or turn off and on again before engine will start. However there are a few times it will start fine the first time. Cant work out a consistent trick to make it start but have been able to start it eventually each time. Once engine starts car runs absolutely fine and engine does start quickly when it does, everything else on car seems to work fine (other than one window that wont wind down) Just cant figure out why its doing this.

just had a new battery fitted.

If wiggling the key makes a difference I would suspect the ignition switch. I just replaced one on my P38 which wont be identical but was a relatively easy job.
