Yesterday with engine off noticed a clunking ckicking under the arm rest glove box. It appears to stop when the engine was running and the gear is out of park.

It sounds like a relay.

I am sure I would have heard it before so I think it is new.

Anyone got any ideas?

Is it likely to be serious?

Please help me put my mind at rest.

Brakes appear to work fine.

I do have an intermittent brake light fault warning light, but I do not see any lights out at all.

It sounds like the interlock which stops you shifting out of Park unless the brake pedal is pressed -- but you said you were already out of Park. Try putting it in Park with the engine running, and pressing the brake pedal a few times, to see if it's the same noise.

Clunk Click,that's not very nice open the glovebox and let poor Jimmy Saville out! Sorry completely useless and unhelpful information I know but couldn't resist with that title.( If you're old enough to remember Jimmy Saville and the seatbelt ads from the 70's lol!)

Ok the joke was naff and I killed the thread!

No Steve I appreciated the joke. - Howz about that then Guys and Gals. You'll remember the Tufty Club then?

Thanks for the suggestion Jon I'll check it and get back to you.
