Dan the starter system has a few contacts that fail due to the high current that flows, when the starter is first hit. These are the ignition key switch, gearbox inhibitor switch and the security relay, (if the car is fitted with it). any of these can burn and cause the 'click, click,' problem. The most common, is the gearbox inhibitor switch, you may find it will start if the lever is in N.
The best fix is to fit the Bosch relay to the starter solenoid, to reduce the heavy current flow, through these contacts, as the Bosch 30 amp relay will handle high current flow, saving all the contacts.
