Question Re: clicking noise when turning left

Without sounding like a nutter - define "clicking" for me in this instance

Does it sound 'major' or is it more of annoying clicking?

Take the wheels off and have a look at the brakes first - could be something loose in there

Re: clicking noise when turning left

Is the 'clicking' coming from the drivers side front wheel?

Mine did this and on inspection it was the metal disc/plate behind the brake disc fouling when turning left (started as a click but over time built up to nasty sounding metal on metal grinding). Easily solved, take wheel off and the disc/plate can be bent away from the brake disc.

Could be the drive shafts, When the joints are worn they will click when they have slop in them. Grab hold of them and twist them and see how much movement there is in them.

No probs, must admit it does sound nasty the first time you hear it.
