My thought process having read the thread finished with
Clutch change... they took the earth off the gearbox and chassis leg.... check they aren't loose/corroded/dirty... ideally take em off clean it all and put them back.
Can't help think if it were the battery it wouldn't just spring into life after a couple of attempts to fire.
The relay not coming in wouldn't stop it from swinging over if it were at fault.
if it were the starter it wouldn't affect the glowplug light coming on or not.
sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere. I'd suspect the gearbox earth cable/connections as it would effect both systems.
