Defender 110 2.5 Tdi - 1992 vintage.

Going round right angled corner - I get a clicking as though something is
wedged in the tyre tread - it is road speed consistent.

Checked all the tyres and that nothing is fouling etc. Clicking appears to
be coming from the front nearside.

Any offers please as to what it is??? I have in my mind eliminated bearings
breaking up as on the straight there is no undue noise or rumble etc.

But before you do anything ... check that there's enough oil/grease in
the swivel housing. If it only clicks on full lock think about whether
it is worth doing anything at all in the short term.

Thanks gentlemen - you were all correct in your diagnosis - there was oil in
the swivel though - guess the cv joint has just worn out on this vehicle
which has done 158000 miles.

Thanks once again.
