Turn your volume up (its a diesel haha) to hear this short video of the ticking noise... doesn't sound serious, but doesn't sound right either..

Still not sure whether or not I am over-reacting?
So OP, is this in normal or raised mode? Does it do it from a cold start or when the cars been used? I'll take a video myself if you can outline how to reproduce it.

OP?
Doesn't seem to do it all the time, but generally only once its hot and been driven for a while.
Always drive in normal mode, (not raised) and 80% comfort 20% sport. Makes no difference really.
The video was last night as I had reversed into the garage at home. I had the sunroof open which is what made me decide to record it.
It was in park, idling.
Not sure if that info helps at all.

OP=original poster. Used to talk to the topic creator on forum threads to avoid doubt as to whom the question or post is addressed.

I'll check mine once warmed up and video it for you.

I took this video after a 4/5 mile drive with the car already warmed up. As you can hear there's only the sound of the engine and I'm surprised the phone picked that up because even that is incredibly quiet (4 pot petrol).

Thanks for taking the time to do the vid for me...
Its weird, tonight I was leaving a mates house and we were talking as I sat in my car with it switched on and there was no ticking noise at all, Engine was still hot as I hadn't been there long, we sat there talking for about 10 minutes.
Get home just now and reverse into the garage and it start ticking constantly for the next 5-10 minutes.

Im sure its nothing serious, Ill just add it to my small list of 'to be looked at'
