Ive had same problem a few times been through 2 starter motors ,,bla bla
first thing check your battery or give it a good charge that may sort it /
check connections on your starter motor maybe replace the connectors.
on mine i beleave it clicks because of the ignition wires as the guy before me put in a switch start instead of the key and there are dodgy connectors ect in the dash/
Sounds like flat battery or dodgy starter to me, do you have to jump start the car to get it going?
Sticky starter? you tried giving it a tap?

this seams like an arse ache to me but worth a read
cheers guys, well the guy who i bought mine off had a switch instead of the key so i will change it back and will charge or change the battery. as for the starter motor it is brand new. could the size of the stater motor cable make a difference because of the amount of current that is drawn form the battery. i do have to bump it first time but then it will start everytime.
Clicking sounds like the solenoid... An alternative could be to give the motor a good wack with a bar, however, it won't solve your problem,
