Hi all,
Started the car up today to be greeted by an awful crackling noise from the noise system instead of radio 2, the best way to describe it would be rhythmic like a clock, but a loud crackling noise, the same for DAB and FM and bluetooth, so i just muted the radio.
But every time I indicate, I now get this loud crackling noise instead of the indicator sound.
Im presuming this will be covered under the warranty, but has anyone any idea what could be causing this? or anyone experienced this?

Cheers.

Software problem. I had this and after a couple of stops and locks, it was fine again.

Well........... just been back out in the car 2 hours later and everything is fine now.

Very strange.

Really odd this one, I had the same on the weekend and thought I needed to book it in. When I returned to the car for the return journey it was fine.

Cars are far too complicated these days. Bring back the dipstick!

Not to mention hand-cranking for when the battery is nearly flat. :)
