When I turn on the ignition I get a ticking noise from a box in the battery compartment. Can anyone tell me what the box is and also why when I put my foot on the brake pedal the ticking stops ?
Defender 300tdi ticking !! Help Needed

I hope it isn't; I'm loving the landy and don't want it to blown up.

Well just remember that the corning are an ethnic minority now... someone will have a gripe!
(That's if Totnes is cornish I haven't a clue!)

Some models have the spider (part of the immobiliser) in battery box
Think spider has relays in it so could be the relays making the noise?

did you leave your watch in there?
It's obviously the brake ticking warning relay which naturally stops when you push the brake pedal.
That is because your brake ticking stop relay stops ticking when it should, proving that the ticking relay works and the brake stop pedal turns it off as it has been circuit tested locally without lighting up a warning light on the dash ... if it did it would be something else, but it isn't coz it doesn't.
Is that explanation simple enough or do you require more detail?

Removed the spider, AMR 4889, disassembled it and a resistor has burnt out; seems it has been immobilised and landy still starts, all I need now is a replacement resistor. Anyone any ideas where I could get one ? Thanks for all the help so far it is appreciated. Oh Totnes is in Devon bye the way.
