James, Andy recently had a similar problem, he replaced the starter motor and solenoid etc etc, before he found a dirty contact in one of the engine bay electrical plugs / sockets. I have had similar problems which turned out to be a bad earth connection to the chassis, again in the engine bay.

When I put the key in to start the car and turn it I get a clicking sound from the relay compartment and nothing else happens. It's not the starter motor i.e. the battery is not flat and after a 3 or 4 tries the car will suddenly start. Any ideas what this could be? dodgy connection, bad relay etc...
