 Vauxhall Vectra C - 06 1.8 Clicking Noise when Turning Ign Key - Redviper
Hi All

To continue on with the clicking relay thread in the Technical Section - Occasionally when I turn the key to start the car, there are two very noticeable loud "ratchetey " clicking noises.

This is a very random event, and can go for weeks/months before it does it again more often than not its when the outside temp is really cold.
the car starts and runs absolutely fine, and everything works as it should,

I posted this on Vectra-c.com - and someone said it "sounds like relays" however no one has come back to my reply of whether or not its the sound of a relay on its way out or not and what specifically relays it might be.

I'm more concerned that its the sound of impending death of a relay as I'm of to Devon in a few weeks and don't want to be left stranded

Many Thanks
