Well the noise is definatley only coming from the front passenger side of the car. (The side where the CV boot has split) I had the front bumper off yesterday just to see if i could find anything and i couldnt. The only thing i came accross was the split cv boot. I didnt look inside it properly cos i didnt want too make the split any bigger. But from what i saw the grease did look pretty shitty.....
And i had came across a loose dipstick tube and tightened it up ages ago. But it was still the same

Also it does not matter how many revs i give the engine it will still do it as it even happens when i push the clutch in. I can barely hear it under 10 mph. then as the speed increases it gets louder and faster, and gets really bad especially after a spirited drive

I have heard that when a cv joint is in a critical state it will "clack" even when driving straight (no steering lock). I have never seen this for myself. It may be worth looking into the cv joint if that's the only possible cause you can find right now.

Yeah. Problem is is that its the inner cv joint thats gone. And i dont know where to get them from. Can get the outer ones fine though
