When switching the ignition on there is a noise from behind the dash that I can only liken to mice running. This is before the engine is started. On switching off, the noise is repeated, followed by a loudish click and the needles on the dash jerk. Any suggestions as to the problem?

If this noise was evident only on switching on, I would have suggested ABS pump charging BUT you say it also occurs on switching off....

Dunno.

Clean all the electrical connections and hope it goes away.

It works for me!

Thanks for the advice Tel, I think it has gone away!

I had the identical noise and jerking of dials about 2 monts ago.

It was a time when the rain was excessive and also the cold weather. However, as the weather has cleared, so has the noise. I rekon it was water leaking in somewhere in the dash.

Thanks for the comments Chris, you could well be right, all now seems to be normal. Strange! Thanks again, Richard.
