   Sounds more like the outer cv joint to me.
   Is it a one piece shaft/joint on the saxo?

    dont think its a wheel bearing, not that type of noise and its not when the wheel is under any load if you get me, going round a corner at 2mph it still clicks, its not a grinding sort of wheel bearing type noise

    Get under the car and check the rubber gaitors on the end of the driveshafts for any splits.
