Hi guys, I have a problem with my wife's LR3, it recently started making a constant clicking sound under the vehicle, and doing so driving on a straight, from pull away to stop, I know usually cv joints does this, but there is no clicking noise when I turn, telling me that it cant be cv's, even though it sounds like it. Any ideas what it can be?

Also almost boiling hot water started dripping onto my feet from inside the car, driver side above the break pedal. That was scary.

No LOL, the clicking sound is similar to the clicking a cv joint usually makes when a car goes around a corner and the cv joints are done. But in this case, the clicking only occurs when driving in a straight line, it stops going around corners or just idling downhill.

Just reach under and give them a twists you will feel/hear/see it.
