As I was driving back from work when I had the wipers on variable speed, there was a clicking noise coming from the glovebox/fuse box area, is this normal? Thanks

If there was a click for each sweep it'll be the wiper relay. I don't hear mine but then at my age my hearing's getting shot

Yes it's a click every time it wipes, clicking noise speeds up when I speed up the wiper. Also it clicks when I press the rear heated screen. Thanks

Absolutely normal, it's the variable speed relay operating.

I thought 'Elf and Safety' made you wear ear defenders these days? 
My hearing loss is just age-related, nothing to do with noise damage. Believe me it's bl***y frustrating so take good care of your hearing.
