Hi all again. She still won't start. Reconditioned my starter motor and still no joy! Checked earth strap still nothing. Tested power on battery and seems fine? But when I turn the key dash lights flicker and starters clicks but nothing! Help!! I need my motor running!
Starter relay or ignition switch?

Try using a set of jump leads and applying the +ve direct to the starter motor. See if it spins the engine.

you type test alternator in search box 
How did you test your battery? If you stuck a multimeter across it then it won't you ****. A battery needs a load applying to draw a current and cause a bolt drop. The best way is with a battery tester, or if you don't have one, two people and a multimeter. Stick the meter on the battery, DC volts, then get your oppo to turn the engine over. That will give you the battery voltage.
As for testing the alternator, do all the above then when it starts check the voltage, if its charging it will be between 12.7-14v.

Had a similar issue the other hear it was as simple as needed new terminals on the wires to the starter they were corroded and had gone loose not had an issue since then, to test run a new but of wire from battery to starter, I cant remember if the imob lets it start like that or it just turns over bjt it proves power to starter is ok, if it is ok its prob ignition switch or immob id guess

If it's a healthy alternator, I'd want at least 13.2v out of it...

This is a long shot but try rocking it in gear maybe its just a sticking starter?
