   As above, what the hell is this, sounds like I got a cricket behind my dash on the drivers side. Its exactly the same noise as when you flick the indicator on and happens radomly and its repetitive
   
   cheers

    i had the same problem but was coming from the nearside it was a indicator relay, but then changed the indicator arm aswell as it was worn, check the relays before attemping anything else imo
