My interior has started to tap / click and it seems to be getting louder....driving me mad now it is! Unfortunately I am struggling to find the source of the noise...it happens in relation to suspension movement...where should I start?

Get a passenger to try and track it down for you.
I had a really nasty buzzing which appeared to be coming from behind the dash on the nearside. Next time with a passenger I asked them where it was coming from and they pointed immediately to the interior mirror. Took seconds, had been driving me nuts for weeks.
On another occasion I had a tapping/squeeking, which I considered to be somewhere in the rear. I eventually dropped the rear seat back and placed a piece of foam packing, dead centre where the seat back meets the area below the parcel shelf. No more tapping. Would have been easier with a passenger but anybody in the back and the noise disappeared.

Are you sure that it's not coming from your knees?

Start hitting things. When it stops, you hit the right thing.

I'm not suggesting a hammer, mind, just a sharp application of the side of your fist.

Oh, and I'm serious. May sound otherwise, but a good bash will shut it up for a short time, and then you'll know where to go looking.
