Well, if the battery is ok, the starter is starting to fail. Just hit it with a hammer a couple of times & try to start it. Then start looking for a replacement. Its 2 bolts to swap out.

It right on the very front of the motor, down low. Easiest to get to from underneath

You'll probably find that it is the same starter thats used by the HJ Galant (sold locally in Aus.) So if you start asking local suppliers that may help.

Alternatively, one of the guys here will have on I'd say.
