Giving this connection a good clean has cleared the fault each time. On each occasion, the starter-side large terminal (the one switched by the solenoid) has been overheated & burnt. This is easier said than done, needing about two and a half feet of socket extension pieces and a UJ to remove the upper bolt. Access to this terminal is really difficult with the starter motor on the car, so on each occasion the fault has occurred, I have removed it at this point. Reconnecting the solenoid & putting the voltmeter onto the starter-side large terminal gives about 10 Volts when the key is turned. Removing the solenoid connection (spade terminal) from the starter & connecting the voltmeter to it - you get 12 volts when the starter key is turned. The engine refuses to crank on the starter motor, although the panel lights go out, the interior light dims and the battery voltage dips to about 10 volts. Can anyone offer advice? Is this a common Shogun fault? Have I misdiagnosed the root cause? I've had a 5th occurrence of what appears to be a straightforward bad-connection problem on the starter motor.
