What's the best upgrade? Or newest thing that fits?

Mine seems to click a lot when it starts now

Aa above,, connect starter is meant to be the best upgrade, no modifying to fit either i don't think!
But even when youve fitted new starter try heat wrapping your downpipe and possibly the starter aswell,, they just get fried with the heat!!

Fit new wiring while your at it. Easy enough/cheap enough to DIY

I've just put a transit connect starter on my series one as the standard one seized up when hot.
It bolted straight on & seems a hell of a lot better
