it was just clicking but all lights and that are working.

my starter motor surley cant be fucked, new one only been in 3 months.

does it go, click click click click and so on?, and do the dash lights go dim when you crank it over??? if it just clicks once and the dash lights dont go dim then do this. put the car in first gear with the ignition OFF, and the handbrake off and rock the car back and forward as much as you can, for 4 or 5 seconds, it could be a jammed starter, this should free it, failing that just tap the starter motor with a small hammer, not hard. if none of this works then i'd say you need a new starter motor mate

if the dash lights go dim then ya battery is had it, or needs a good charge

it could be the wire going to your started motor from the altenator,
if the spade connecter is shit, change it i think it could be that
mine done that a while ago, put new connector on the been fine ever since

cus if ya don't stick it in gear it will just roll away, it has to be done in gear, this unjams the starter if it is jammed. just rock it back an forth as far as it will go, so you can just feel it hitting the gear.. but for f*ck sake keep the ignition off else the car will disappear up the road.
