Default 2002 lr disco2 wont start

I have a 2002 land rover discovery 2 it will not start. I went out in the morning to start it and it cranked just fine, shut it off about 5 minutes later and now it wil not crank at all, nothing at all. I can hear the ignition module cclicking under the hood but it does nothing. I had the battery checked it is in perfect shape. It was a little cold out this morning around 32 deg. but like i said it cranked just fine. Please help i am at a lose.

What you are hearing is your starter's solenoid clicking, not your ignition.
Who checked your battery and how, what was the voltage and alternator charge rate?

advance checked it and the voltage was12.86v cca were 753 and it was measured at a temp of 57 f. Also i do not hear the solenoid at all the little clicking i heard came from the fuse box under the hood from one of the relays.

Minimum voltage on a Rover is 13.6 volts, maximum is 14.4
Get the battery charged, take the truck and have a oad test done to verify what the alternator is putting out.

Thanks Disco Mike for the advice, it ended up being the starter, the brushes were shot.
