Default Starter motor problem? what do you think

Just occasionally but becoming more frequent, I just get a click and no starter motor action, battery all good, hasn't failed to start "yet", what is the cheapest solution?

Thanks V

Firstly check the thin wire and make sure that it is getting a good earth, and then maybe look into getting one of the Starter motor solenoid kits from ebay, did one of my previous cars, and quiet easy to do

and there is a how to somewhere on the threads on how to replace soleniods
