hi all this is a strange one,i have a vauxhall vectra(B)sri 2.0l..the car has been running excellent since i bought it a few weeks ago. i got into the car tonight,bearing in mind all the snow we have got. driving down the road and i can hear a small knocking noise coming from the dashboard. earlier when i went out in it i put the traction control on because of the bad snow we have got. just wondering if anybody has any ideas. its not a loud noise,you can just about hear it. all ideas will be appreciated.thanks.

Is the noise there when stationary and/or moving.You say you turned the traction control on,it is on all the time.Operating the switch to bring the t/c light on meane you have turned the t/c off.The noise may be the abs system cutting in.

i noticed that the noise was on when i was stationary with the engine running,im just wondering weather i should have touched the traction control button at all.

just an update,i got into the car this morning,turned the key. car wouldnt start. when i turn the key all im getting is like a continous drilling noise. is it possible that the starter motor could have frozen in this terrible weather we have got. i dont want to try to srtart it just incase the battery dies out on me. ive tried it a few times but like i said all im getting when i turn the ignition on is a drilling noise(continuous). any suggestions are welcome.

Do you get this noise only when you turn the key to the start position.
If so, sounds like the starter solenoid is chattering due to a low battery.
Can you connect to a trickle battery charger for a few hours or overnight.
