Help 405 wont start/ turnover

[pug_dturb]

Afternoon guys
In need of some help...

Had the battery off the 405 earlier just to do some painting to tge chassis legs abd other bits and bobs under the battery.

Anyway put the battery back in, tightened the terminals, turned the key let tge car preheat and it just clicked once all lights went off on the dash and tgen it wouldnt do anything.

Fiddled with the terminals just wiggling them taking them on and off and it started finebut Iit keeps doing it now and again and the click is coming from the battery area.

Any ideas what I can do...
Im useless with electrics and I cant afford an auto electrician.

Cheers in advance

Clean up the connections. It sounds like your typical bad connection scenario. Make sure they're done up properly as well, don't just plonk it over without doing it up with a spanner.
