Evening folks.
I'll guess its nothing to worry about :shock: but I get a clicking noise coming from the rear of my car, I think it's from near the battery so offside rear. It sounds like a switch clicks On then a few seconds later clicks Off again.
Should I be worried? I'm thinking no but I haven't heard it before until recently.
Thanks, Tim.

If it sounds more switch-like than mechanical, then there are a couple of probable suspects in that area.

1. The sunroof motor is located behind the trim in the left-rear quarter panel and there are a couple of relays associated with that, which may be the source of your click.

2. On my car in the same location, there was a "black box" which was part of the original, dealer-fit, alarm system. It went "a bit wrong" and started clicking randomly after I'd had the battery disconnected for some maintenance. Fortunately it was no longer required (it had been replaced by another alarm system at some point in the car's life) and the simplest solution was to strip it out.
