Car problem-advice needed

[NeilB]

Don't forget to have a look at the brakes as well. My fathers car made a clicking noise now and then. When I had a look the brakes were down to the backing material....excellent service considering he bought it from the Toyota dealer 1 month before!

CV joints.

Get it fixed asap, if you ignore it........ lets just say lots of other (expensive bits like gear boxes) things can die too.

Try to work out which side, if u can't, ask your local renault garage, tell them its making a noise, get them 2 take it out and diagnose. obviously you won't be bringing it back 4 them to carry out the work but they won't know that, and they don't usually charge to diagnose via test drive. The job should be fairly streightforward.
