There is a fuse box and the BCU up behind the glove box. . The emergency fuel cut off reset is there as well. Not that that would be clicking.

Could actually be coming from anywhere, best to get a passenger to track it down when you are on the move.

Could it be the fuel vapour recirculation valve? This is attached to the side of the battery box and has a very loud click when the system starts up. It only runs now and then, usually when the engine's ticking over. From inside, it will seem like a very loud tappet.
