Check all your earth wires, especially the big ones. ie the one from the battery to the chassis and the one from the chassis to the engine. This has happened to me several times, and in the end it has always been the earth somewhere.

Sounds like a starter motor to me won't be the solenois as you said you can hear it working all that does is engage the pinion gear into the flywheel, maybe a bad resistance on the contacts to the starter coil is the problem as this coil has a higher current.

somtimes it will throw the gear in but not make the connection for the motor. If it wasnt the solonoid it wouldnt be such an intermittant problem.

Turn the key once and nothing and turn it again and it works is classic solonoid symptoms.
