clicking only from the Starter. So, anyone vote for new battery?
TQ
Well that does indicate the start relay and security circuits are GOOD. Sure does sound like a battery that is toast..

Whats the voltage drop when you push the start button I bet low
TQ said 5 volts...
Aye it looks like TQ is going to be spending a wee bit of money down at the stealers :s
Just think how lucky you are you arent buying it here as most stuff doubles in price as it crosses the pond

There should be a scale on the meter that has a picture of a diode on it. See attachment.
The selected range on this meter has the picture of the diode to the far right.
An ohm meter uses an internal battery to calculate the ohms in a circuit. The diode range is the "High" range that will "turn on" or forward bias a diode.
Hmmm. Well my forte' is NOT the sparky stuff as you can tell!! My DVOM may not have enough bells and whistles for what I need to do to check this VR. Here is a shot of my cheapy meter. (Sorry for the nasty pix, just used my cel!)

DC volt scale 20 should tell you at the battery you should read about 13 v or higher @ idle IMO
Added some info above.
