From your description of a "clunk from the engine bay", the first thing I would be looking at would be the starter motor solenoid.
This is the high current electrically operated switch on the starter motor unit.
The internals of this solenoid are quite cheap to replace.

And it is very easy to do, unless like me where you manage to turn a half hour job into about three hours because you miss out one of the plastic insulators and put on and take off the motor about four times before noticing said piece of plastic on the bench in front of you, lesson learned, count the bits of plastic.................
