   bought the car a few months ago n noticed that when u set the alarm, the lights dont flash but when driving,, there's a random clicking noise coming from one of the relays. tonight it got really bad so i turned the lights off, headnit off, heaters off and still, it kept randomly clicking. had a look in the fuse box and noticed there's 2 relays directly above where the fuses are on the passenger side, and its the one on the right hand side thats clicking.
   anyone any idea wot this relay is for and any way to stop it from clicki? it gets bloody annoying when it starts doin it consistently
   
   cheers

   Does the same on mine randomly I think it's the indicator stalk being too sensitive

    Literally look at the fusebox, find the larger grey box looking thing, pull it out, push new one back in
