As they make contact there is a small arc created between the two plates, over time this causes a build up of carbon on their surface which in turn creates a high resistance preventing enough current being passed to turn the starter. Other times the relay will fire (click, click, click....) as you push the button but the starter won't turn at all.
There is a simple test for this but wouldn't want to suggest it if you are not mechanically or electrically competent.
Simple solution is to replace it, it's a £6 part and takes about 10 minutes to do.
Thanks for that, for £6.00 I'll change it just as a precaution but there was no clicking on the relay it was literally as if it had a flat battery even though it had started without a hitch three times already yesterday morning?
