yeah its got me stuffed what it is too, take's about 10seconds after ignition is on then it starts, almost sounds like its a little pump, has a slight squeek to it as it ticks

Starter motor/ solenoid will be the cause of the noise. Either the starter relay is intermittent and engaging/ disengaging the starter solenoid or the solenoid is getting power but not functioning correctly.

do you know what the likely cause would be ??? cause it wont start unless i bridge the diognosis teminals or starter relay teminals either.
i've just put the motor, box ,ecu, wiring, in my car. used to be standard ecotec up upgraded to l67, but gee is it doing my head in now. had the ecu and bcm linked, but thinking he didnt do it right(did it with old ecotec chip in the s/c ecu)but have changed it to s/c chip now and not sure if its worth paying agiain to get it linked again. the self diognosis thing wont work either, dosnt even flash to say its clear, light just stays on till i start the car then go's off...

if i remove the (auto trans fues) it stops the ticking.
took out the starter relay and it didnt stop it.

Yep my L67 does it too, has done ever since i bought it. Thanks for starting this thread it's reassuring (to me at least) that i'm not the only one with this annoying little issue!

Hehe that's the same conclusion i came to over 12 months ago after no mechanic / auto elec / transmission shop would believe i had a "problem" (except perhaps in my mind!)
