Is there a relay to do with an old anti theft setup that is in the circuit?
Very strange that one day it is OK and the next it won't start without the car being touched.

Check your battery - it sounds like it is struggling / not providing enough power.
The classic clicking of the starter solenoid (but no spinning of the starter motor) as mentioned above points to this.
The reason why not enough "juice" is getting to the starter could also be due to dirty contacts.
Taking it one step further: Over on BW there was a fairly recent fad of "change your battery cables as they tend to corrode inside"...
