NIghtmare mate, if all else fails bump start it to Ford Fair!
Is there a decent charge in the battery mate that's what usually causes the clicking as there is not enough power getting to the starter motor

If you have replaced it and it's still not working, clearly the problem lies elsewhere, i.e. bad wiring or insufficient power, as said!

There's plenty of juice in battery there is also a spade connector on the starter which wasn't on the old one

If it's not going with a live from the battery either battery is knackered or the earth from the engine is buggered.
