   Hi can anyone say what making this noise it's coming from the front wheel? I aint got a clue what wrong with it any help will be great.
   clicky
   
   
   The problem was the driveshaft. When they changed it not only was the shaft knackered but it was the wrong shaft. Some idiot fitted a flat seated shaft instead of a tapered shaft. Just got make sure it aint buggered the bearing now.
   
   Thanks everyone for your help

   I would say the driveshaft on that side has had it.

   So you deffo thinks it's the driveshaft then. How much would it cost to replace parts/labour?

   You can get driveshafts from auto quip or euro car parts for around 50-55 quid. And you could do it yourself if you've got some tools
