Default clicking under driver door

Ignition off, key out, have a clicking coming from under the passenger door. Took a pic so you could see the mechanism I'm talking about.

And no I do not live in Northern Ireland.

What He^ said!

If you have removed the rear air bags and installed springs then you need to go and have the SLS turned off in the computer to stop the noise. If you don't turn it off in the computer then it can drain your battery (happened to me)

Well that would explain the battery drain. Thank you both

The SLABS needs resetting if you have changed to rear coil springs (normal process with a suitable diagnostic tool or LR dealer with Test Book) or if you haven't you've picked up a cricket on your tours or the NRV is letting by some air causing a 'chatter'.

PS. In fact, once you have disposed of the SLS and air springs you can remove the compressor totally or change it into a tire inflater but it'll take forever to blow up your tires. Whatever you do you need the SLABS reset.

You are welcome and FYI- The place I had it done at charged me $40 to turn it off. Don't let someone charge you more than $60.

Sorry to drudge up this old post, but do you reckon I can pull a fuse or a cable and get this thing out myself?

It's been in there since I purchased this car second hand 3 years ago only lately has it been "clicking" non-stop.

Specs 99' D2.

Not that I am aware of. I tried pulling the fuse and the relay and if I remember correctly, ever time I would go over 10mph a warning "ding" would start sounding from behind the dash. I found no way around turning it off besides having someone with a computer switch it off.
