Before spending £££ have you done a couple of basic checks?
Earth, battery, starter.
Earth connections is a common problem. Charge your battery fully, connect a cable long enough to go from battery negative to starter mount. Start the engine. Repeat a couple of restarts. If the engine continues to start a few times then it is the earth.
The clicking you hear sounds like the solenoid is working ok but not enough amps getting through to turn the motor to turn the engine.
A good earth with a good battery will spin the engine a few times before draining the battery.
I am assuming your engine just turns over and fails to start and run before the no spin and clicking starts?
If you have eliminated a bad earth then it is likely the battery is gone.
Can you temporarily swop it for a known good battery?
If the engine still doesn’t start with a known good battery and earth it might then be the starter itself. Worn brushes?
I hate non starting.
