It sounds like it may be from the front of the car, like I said just discovered it when driving to work and have not got it checked out as yet.

It sounds like a relay clicking over, is it normal? I usually dtrive with the stereo on so it may be normal and I just haven't noticed it before

Continuous clicking or once only? Maybe the dreaded front propshaft double cardan joint.

just the one click i realise it's a fly by wire setup on the accelerator but I have not heard it before

Any suggestions on what it could be?

LOL

I suppose I ask for that one

Ok Max can you suggest where I can get the accelerator moved so I can operate it with other limbs then?

I would hazard a guess and say it is normal as mine does it as well. Sometimes it happens a couple of seconds after I take my foot off the accelerator. I thought it might be the waste gate clicking shut or open but not sure. Comes from the front of the car somewhere and is more noticable with the window down.

Keen to hear how you go though troubleshooting.

With the new Gen L/R coming out leaking oil was getting "Old School", so they went from that to "clicks", next version will have a "bump" added then it will turn into a "grinding" noise at about 10000 ks on.
