Hello all, just started to hear a irregular clicking / chattering coming from within the steering column. It's there from thr final turn of the key before cranking and for several miles after the engine is running. However once the car has been started a few times and ran a bit the noise goes away. It's not the ventilation fan as I turned it off. Sounds like a relay clicking in and out but if it is there are no other signs like lamps coming on, wipers moving column adjustment etc.

Has anyone else had anything similar?

Thanks.

Have you tried undoing the plastic around the steering wheel? I think the shell splits in two when unbolted and you might be able to see if anything is loose?

Failing that, the next time it's rattling, use the control to move the steering wheel up or down and see if the rattle changes...?
