This is a ticking noise proportional to engine speed, on weak FM stations. I would put it down to the ignition system except that it is a diesel.
Searching the internet suggests interference from the alternator would be a whine rather than a tick. Maybe I should replace the alternator brushes anyway - they have done 162000 miles.
Could the aerial amplifier have failed? FM reception has not been good outside big towns for a year or so.
