Smile starting?

Hi!
After overhauling my cylinder head on my MA70 7MGTE , I found that the EARTH WIRE to the coils attachment plate was frayed and on the point of parting company , so I made up a new one - twice as strong and supple - and made a good earthing attachment point on the cylinder head (NOT the rocker cover ) -- no problems now ,once the starter turns the engine , Also , I have just this week fitted the relay mod to the starter motor as mentioned in this forum - EXCELLENT! ( Many Thanks for that one ! ) -kicks in every time now - usually : click click, click click click etc.
NOTE : the starter makes a machine-gun noise if the battery is " flat "- a quick charge and starter kicks in every time.
