Coming from the centre console is a rather loud clicking noise and I am also told can be heard from the outside, it's only present when the car is in motion and not while idle or revving the engine, it also changes pitch with speed of the car, any help would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, its sounds like the rubber coupler that connects the drive shaft has failed, please inspect and get back to me :-)

Hi,

Turns out the handbrake cable was hitting against the driveshaft so not a major job :)
