Mend Peugeot 205 1.8 GRDT Diesel Starter Motor

Why does my peugeot 205 diesel 1.8 GRDT not start sometimes?

I've found this problem on other websites but had no responses. Basically, my peugeot 205 diesel 1.8 GRDT does not start sometimes - when I turn the ignition key to start - the starter motor "clunks" but does not turn the engine. Generally this only happens when the engine is warm. I've reconditioned the starter motor, changed battery, changed the stop solenoid. Anybody had similar problems/ have any answers?

I have the same model (205 grdt). I use one of those solar trickle chargers. Either a bigger one that runs to the back of the car or a smaller one that you can put on the dash board. No problems since. Also start the car WITHOUT the lights on first....
