range rover westminster, clicking when turning left.

[Matt Westminster]

Hello fellow Land Rover owners!
Im new to forums and Land Rovers.
Briefly, I fullfilled a 10 year dream last week. I bought a 2012 Range Rover westminster. Black, ivory, factory tints, 60k, great history, I'm ecstatic!

However, lol here we go!.. a metalic clicking sound has developed when I turn left. At first it reminded me of the sound when you tighten a ratchet strap but in a ticking timely fashion.
I must stress when i'm stationary its fine, no clicking etc...
Any thoughts most welcome, thanks in advance.
Matthew.

Sounds like a failing cv joint or a dry cv joint.

Could be a CV joint, I would think if you bought the vehicle from a garage/dealer then they should be putting it right unless you've managed starship mileage in the week since you bought it.

Hey there, oh ok I'll see if I can can have a nose arround the c.v. joints, may be a perished gator.
No way I can return it as I didnt buy from a dealer.
If I do need further help I.e. a reliable Land Rover mechanic to sort this, can anyone recommend a decent chap in the west sussex or gatwick area?

Also guys I'm guessing if it happens when i'm turning left is likey to be the nearside joint?
Thanks
