Ticking sound from passenger footwell
I have a fast ticking sound from above the passenger footwell which can be clearly heard inside the car. It can come and go with different revs but there is no consistency. This morning I was stationary and heard it so took the car out of gear and revved it, that made the noise go away. Other times it has been quiet at idle and then come at slightly higher revs. I can't hear it from under the bonnet though. I may have an issue with the heater motor as the heater isn't working as well as it should which is why I checked under the bonnet but the noise isn't affected by any heater setting.
It sounds like a solenoid or relay constantly clicking but I don't know which or quite where to look - there isn't a lot of space down there!
Any ideas?

I have that ticking in my car when cruise control is on.

I recently had the same problem in the winter. It is the Purge Valve (evap) and on earlier models there is a TSB requiring the installment of an insulation bag to muffle the noise. My 2005 XKR had the new type PV and was told I just had to live with the noise. As I don´t normally drive my Jag in the Winter it´s not such a big deal. It can sometimes be accompanied by a petrol smell although this was not the case for me.

Good Luck.
