Changed it for a new one and, fingers crossed, it solved the issue.
Thanks , might be worth the few euro to get a new one

I changed all these on my 748s , main relay , starter solenoid

I also purchased some uprated starter cables , grounding cable ; it helps alot but so far she is going great , CTEK LED battery indicator is consistently green

I gave her good clean the weekend , cables all look good ,will put some conductive lube on the grounds , cabling when the new cables arrive
