Clicking on start up.

Good evening.
I read a post on here some time ago but haven't been able to find it again.
My problem is, when I start my 05 disco, I get a clicking noise through the speakers, the EPB warning light flashes and on some of the worst occasions, the power seems to go from the sat nav. I have noticed that the rear lights dip in time with the clicking. After a minute or so the issue stops and all is well with the world.
I have also noticed that this is worse when the weather is wet and on particularly dry days may not happen at all.
This would suggest to me it could be a wet/corroded connector. The post I read suggested it could be caused by one of the connectors under one of the wheel arches that needs replacing.
Does this sound right? Can anyone direct me to the post or give advice on a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Dean.

I'd suggest it's likely a battery, or charging issue firstly Thumbs Up

It starts first time. The clicking is while the engine is running. And it has been fine the last two days, while the weather has been nice. If it was the battery wouldn't it keep getting gradually worse? I'll get my mate to check it though. Cheers.
