recently noticed a ticking sound coming from my drivers side front wheel sounds kind of like a clock.


ive had the wheel off and had a good look round and cant see anything out of the ordinary and there are no sticks or anything stuck in the wheel to make that noise.


any ideas much appreciated

have you hit a curb or a pothole? if so it may be the bearings!

Does the clicking go faster when you speed up, or is a constant pace?

stone in your tyre?

nope nothing visable at all. considered it might have been the flap for the indicators but thats fine also so im stumped

Well come away from the wheel, try somewhere new... like the engine bay...

its not in your suspension or anything like that is it?

Have you had a quick check at the rear tyre for stones/nails?

no lee i saw and read it. have looked under the bonnet as well. nothing s out of the ordinary hence why im so puzzled

Could you try and drive slowly past someone to listen where the noise is coming from? Or just start the car up open the bonnet and have a listen?

is there a clothes peg with a playing card clipped on it near the wheel?

i reckon its something to do with your brake caliper or the hub itself then?

It's a bomb...Matt Bin Laden and Tris Hussein tagged it on your car at Stanford.....

Check your brake disc- run a brush over the disc and see if anything is caught in it. I had this problem on my mk2 and it stopped after i brushed the wheel and disc/ caliper. So possibly something stuck to it?

Just dont touch the disc after any sort of driving as i did and i burnt my finger print off lol

Turn your music up and it will go.
