That's a new one on me, but I'm no expert, I have clicking at low speed when turning but I've bought new cv joints which I am getting around to fitting.
Where is the slip ring ?

He could mean the rotary coupler that the steering wheel airbag and controls are wired through!

You are one bad mother hubbard Ant !
I dont actually know guys I'm afraid 
On another forum I described a 'clicking' sound from the steering column at low speed when turning corners, in car parks on at home etc and a couple of guys mentioned the slip ring assembly in steering column breaking down. No ones replied to my post there yet so thought I'd see if it was a common fault over here too, I'm not experiencing any faults yet from it other than the noise, but seeing as she having new FSR, battery (and possibly headlight wiper relay) and few other bits I thought I'd see about getting this slip ring done too

There have been tales of the steering column UJ clicking....
As for the rotary coupler that sits under the steering wheel and allows the wheel to turn and yet still be electrically connected.
Inside is a set of electrical tracks and wipers....if the wipers were breaking down, it could cause odd noises, but if it would be audible, I don't know....
Is the click emanating from inside or outside the car??

Clicking could just possibly originate from the column UJ's with the sound travelling up the column so sounding as if it's from the inside.
