go through the previous worksop posts on starter issues . It may be that the starter needs new brushes .

Condition of the wires themselves? Mine occasionally does it but that's just a dodgy connection that i haven't got round to sorting.

yep battery sound everything says it should run but... wires are good low resistance with continuity
