Hi All
So happy to have come across this forum. My first post relates to ticking/clicking noise from the front passenger side (RH drive). It is internal and not audible from the engine bay with the bonnet up.
The noise just started a month ago has not gotten worse. It occurs on three occasions:
1/ when the car first starts and lasts for about 30 secs
2/ when the air-conditioning is switched on - again only lasting a few seconds, and bizarrely
3/ when the front windscreen washers are activated (not the rear!)
Do any of my new friends understand what might be causing this noise and how I might be able to fix?
Cheers to you all

Ever figure out what this was?
