Hi all,
Well I went ahead and did it - Removed the starter, undid the solenoid plate and cleaned the contacts (they were quite badly pitted). After this I refitted everything (battery box, air cleaner etc) and tried to start the car...
Just the single "click" and nothing else.
I double checked the battery charge and used a booster too just to be certain but no luck.
Any ideas as to what a good next step in the diagnosis may be?
Thanks,
Andy.
ps... I've heard something about a starter inhibitor switch. Is this something easy to get to and if so, is there a way that I can bypass it to rule this out as a potential cause?
I've sen this

on ebay however it doesn't say that it is the one for the automatic so I'm not sure whether to just buy it or not. The part number is;
MAKE; DENSO
DENSO CODE; 228000-7620
PART NUMBER; NAD101180
