I have a 55 plate 3.0d x5 just heard tonight a continuous ticking noise sounds like it's coming from the underneath of the car at the passengers side any advice?? Also check coolant level warning message comes on the dash but not all the time!

Hi
Reference the noise don't panic this is perfectly normal it the pre heater that kicks in when the outside temp drops below a certain level. Sounds like a ticking bomb but does turn off when it gets warmer
As for the coolant level this will need checking

the ticking noise also comes with a diesel fume smell which exhausts out by the passenger side front wheel arch
again all normal its not a time bomb waiting to explode

Phew relief!! It's going into the dealers tomorrow as I realised I still have 3 days warranty left. Cheers for the replies.
