Thanks Dave, I will try that tomorrow.
I suppose accessing from the side means the wing off, I have instructions for doing that, does not seem too difficult.

Yes, it is definately a wings off process for the starter motor access. I had it done by Brian Miller, who was a S1 owner and sponsored Morgan track racing. His son used this site a lot in the past Cerialsurfer, the notes on the Aero S1 in the topics list were posted by him. He sent me the image below which shows the starter motor after change on my car. He suspected this as one of the reasons for the clicking, although there seems to be multiple causes. You can also confirm there is a good earth when you get into the engine.
I am just off to celebrate, my car passed its MOT this morning.
