The instrument panels can also be damaged if the battery is low and you keep cranking it. Don't keep driving it like this since I think poor grounds could cause the instrument panel to fail sooner or later.

Is the weird clicking noise coming from the firewall in the engine bay? It could be the N75 wastegate control solenoid. This is normal. While you're in there, also clean the contacts on the coolant glow plug relay. This is a strip fuse that commonly burns out.

Good idea about the recall notices, I will add it to the checklists.

Many of the items are not recalls though. For example, relay 109 commonly goes bad and that is not a recall item although it should be since it can suddenly shut off the engine!
