Hi...
I know there are several threads about starting issues.
I've tried most of the suggestions but because my issue is a little unique i thought it is worth creating a new thread.]
I have tried different batteries including a battery that is brand new 60amp and 550cca.
The fuel pump primes and the car clicks, sounds like it's coming from the starter motor.
Connect a battery booster in jump mode and it fires no problem.
What i've tried:
Next steps:
What else can i check?
The reason why i believe my issue to be different is mostly because it does start when i connect a booster which raises the Volts on the dash.
Thanks.

What i've tried:
- removed the 3 main earths and cleaned contact points both ends. (behind battery, gearbox and rear bulk head.)
- Swapped main relay with a spare, it's not new but i don't have any reason to believe it not to be working.
- Replaced the Ignition fuses as suggesting in another recent post.
- Cleaned battery terminals.
- Cleaned Alternator earth.
Next steps:
- check the ignition switch, clean the terminals but i'm doubtful as it does start, but only with a booster.
- I'm going to remove the starter motor terminals and clean them, am i correct in thinking there is only 2? one from the harness and another from the solnoid? There doesn't appear to be a earth for the starter unless i am mistaken?
What else can i check?
