When i try to start it, sometimes it will go then othertimes it will just click from the starter motor. I have cleaned the battery terminals,engine to earth,starter motor terminals.I have also changed the starter motor for a brand new one, I have also had the battery checked.It will start every time if i jump start from another car. Anyone got any ideas please.

Thanks

Check your Ign Switch, you may have a bad connection at the spade connectors.
That's not switch problem. It is the Starter solenoid/coil.
You need the starter overhauled. You may fix it by stripping/rebuilding, but the problem will return.
It might just be a matter of cleaning and tightening the contacts on the starter and solenoid. I had a similar problem many years ago and the main feed wire (copper) to the solenoid had just about rotted through.
-- answer removed --
if mk6, then flywheel deterioration will put rubish in the starter causing it to fail. check ''ford transit forum" very helpfull.
also check earth to body from battery.
