This has got me a bit baffled so all input welcome.
I have a Lucida 2.2TD which runs as sweet as a nut, BUT .. when I pull up to a stop, using the footbrake there is a regular clink clink clink noise coming from the area around the alternator. If I apply the handbake and release the footbrake, it stops. The other weird thing is whilst it is making this noise, if I turn on say the lights or another heavy power draw, ie blower, then the noise gets louder.
Anyone had this problem ?, and if so what was the solution.... ??
There are no noises during normal travel or braking. No apparent fluid leaks, no shiny spots on metal surfaces I can see indicating whats catching.

sounds like your battery or alternator are on their way out
when your foot is on the brake pedal the stop lights will be on so causing a drain on the alternator, as different circuits are turned on ,blower etc. this causes more drain on the alternate and battery therefore more noise

Lift the hood and check for anything that is loose around the alternator. Also could be a CVC joint going out, have a mechanic check.

It sounds like ur alternator is on its way out, check that it is bolted up tight and that the belt is also tight,
