Interesting bmphil. I can hear it with the window up so am beginning to think it's a noise in the speedo head itself rather than the switch at the trans. I tried pushing the reset button but made no difference.

Thanks gmphil. Funny that! I plan to do the same thing as I think it will be easier than driving along the street. I am thinking it is the speedo itself. It will be interesting to find out.

Ok but, no, there's no cable.

That's odd! No, the ticking goes away with the engine on but the car stationary so if it was a clock the ticking would continue.

Have you got a stone jammed in the tread of one tyre that clicks when it contacts the road surface every turn of the wheel?

No, as said, clicking goes away if you turn the key off and continue along the road. I am pretty sure it is the speedo and if not, the speed sensor which fits into the trans.

That is odd,got me buggard. sounds like it would have to be electrical of some sort.

I seriously wouldn't have thought of the speedo. I was thinking cable and apparently some have the cable and some don't. It was when someone above suggested they had a problem with their electric speedo. It doesn't seem to be a major problem and it's not particularly loud and the speedo works fine it's just annoying. Some day I'll take the speedo out and do a swapatron. Correct me if I'm wrong intrade but sometimes I think it's handy to do so:)
