If the relay is doing the job and the fuse is OK (which it must be if the relay's clicking) its almost certainly the motor. Get a voltmeter on it and find out if you get a voltage.

If you get a voltage then it's off to the scrappy with a crisp twenty for you!

The motors are quite common to failing on the 306, get one from a scrappy, shouldnt cost you much!

check the motor is not sitting in a pool of water, the drainage plugs can block easily and water kills the motor, dismantling and a bit of cleaning will get it going
