When the ignition key is turned engine does not start only clicks. Battery is ok. Starter has been looked at as some of the magnets inside had broken off.The bendix was stuck but now free. Starter fires engine round once but not enough to start and then clicks.
I have tried the starter on the bench and it works with no problem and I have tried another battery but it still clicks

I reckon your starter has had it, really - I'm not too sure about some magnets having come loose though....maybe you could put the starter on the bench and see if it behaves there? Normally a click indicates poor battery condition, and its the solenoid providing the click.
