Have the same issue but mines been going on for some time.

Changed:
Relays
Ignition- (funny thing is car behaved for a week)
Clutch switch

Have bought a new starter as I have noted if I keep pressing starter button I here the trlays click then eventually the starter click then starts so I suspect starter.
Also noted after the car starts once for the day it starts every time after that.

Yes but you should list the tools needed

No. 8 hex
13m socket
18m socket
16m socket - alternator back bolts and the front one is 18" - do the 18m socket for the front

Dont need to remove the ARB just main bracket and fold back

Still putting everything back but right now the starter in.

Shes done and fired up first time but the morning will say if it fixed my issue but I'm sure it did.

Thanks for the video I would not have been able to do it without it.
