Can anyone give me an indication as to what may cause the following.

Driving along everything is fine. SLow down to around 20MPH and there is a click from underneath the car (Sounds like a relay) nothing happens to the car but I just get this annoying click. There are no clunks when it changes down or up but just this click on slow down.

This can be heard with the windows open which I am having to do at the moment becuase I never bothered to check the A/C unit and its empty

Is it something I need to get looked at or could it be due to lack of moisture and dust inside an electrical device.

Hi Matey
I know you say it sounds like a relay of some decription but it could also be a worn roll bar link bush or the lower wishbone bush,the former is described here http://www.MDOCUK.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=642 before my links got too bad id get a sudden "click/clonk" noise,very hard to explain the sound almost as if a piece of metal slides and knocks the next bit :? also is well worth checking the suspension strut lower bush as these are proned to wearing,and then the obvious checks with the socket/spanners to make sure all sussy parts and steering etc are all tight ,id almost definately sayits not an electrical fault tho ,and id go with my previous suggestions.
The link arms are one complere unit and are available from milners i believe at £18.00 each,(check that these definately are the correct thing if you do buy them) from mits they are £36.00odd for the rears and £46 odd for the fronts each also you could check that all of the parts with grease points are in fact greased up and not dry as this too would cause the clicky type noises ,hope that all makes some sense,atb

The Milners links are the correct ones. I fitted a pair on a Deli last week. 10 minute job once I found the correct socket! They seem just as good as the Mitsu ones (from the outside anyway) but, although they were £18 each this was plus deliver and plas VAT so worked out something like £55. Not much cheaper than going to Mitsu but they did turn up pretty pronto.

Are you sure it's not a stone stuck in the tyre or in the brake shield ?

How often does it 'click' ?

Well had my Stubby Links done today and boy does it make a difference.

Unfortunately I couldn't get my nuts undone and after struggling for 30 minutes and the ratchet set making very strange noises I ended up getting a mechanic round to look at them. 20 Mintues after he arrived all was done and off I went.

Apart from no clicking clunking noise and braking or turning I can't believe how different the vehicle feels. It feels like it grips better and is more responsive in the turns. It also seems to bounce less over the roads and speed bumps which is amazing.

The mechanic was a 4 x 4 fanatic and offer to take me out on their green laning days so I will keep all interested if I get some dates.

Forgot to mention the Stubby links purchased were from Milners courtesy of the Beaulieu day which was handy.
