Hi there. . Any ideas? 150 Petrol Kakadu. .has just started to make a strange sound after switching the engine off.. it's just a single 'POP' noise. .quite audible and occurs about 5-10 seconds after shutdown.. seems to be from passenger side of engine bay. .
Thoughts anyone?

Have I stumped the Pradopoint community? Surely not..?

Do you have a dual battery setup? Could it be a battery isolator solenoid releasing?

Not in the traditional sense.. no 2nd battery in the vehicle but there is a solenoid under bonnet for when connected to the van.. you may be onto something. . Thing is. . It's been installed for 6mths but just started making the noise.. I'll investigate that idea.. thanks for the suggestion..
Perhaps the battery is beginning to show age and dropping Volts quicker than before and I'm hearing it while still in the car. .

I know the exact noise you are referring to watto1, mine does the same thing. I can tell you it's not the Redarc "click" noise, it's a funny sort of pop sound.

I reckon it sounds like it comes from the exhaust system. It has bothered me to no end, but I have no idea what it is.

It did it from day one when we bought it (90,000klms) and we now have 210,000klms. Doesn't "seem" to anything major, but I'd love to know what it is.

My 2016 gxl disel has some "click" sound after shut down from probable under part of engine or not far from my feet ?

A "click" sounds is normally a battery isolator if you have one?
