Have you checked the brushes inside the starter? The solonoid will only click if the brushes are knackered! Check to see whether any oil has leaked into the rear of the starter as this will also cause a non start. Usually the brushes either just get stuck and all is required is a quick strip down and a rebuild which does not require any parts or it could be that the brushes are just simply worn down and may need replacing. I used to recondition these starters all day every day and they are very easy to work on once removed.
