Remove the centre cap from the steering wheel. Bung a load of blu-tack in. Replace centre cap.

It works.

The ticking noise is transmitted into the car through the steering column from the engine bay - its nothing to worry about and the "blu tack" fix will get rid of much of it.

The noise is usually the injectors by the way.

They tick by design.
