That will be the Duratorq lump.....a reliable DI engine.
You've done the obvious, so check out battery connections and earth leads from the engine to the chassis - it sounds like the engine isn't cranking fast enough.
A tip can be to feel the battery connections to see if they get warm.

As John says. You could try jump starting it with another battery across it, this should spin it faster, if it then starts you will know where to look.
