Hi people,
When i turn the key i get the click, lights come on, but doesn't turn the engine. this has been an intermittent fault since about October. Cant tell if its the starter, battery etc?

Have you checked/changed the ignition switch?

Welcome to the forum

Sounds like the starter motor needs repairing. I had the same issue, but I replaced my entire starter for a new one, although you can get repair kits for about £12
