Help
Tonight I noticed a very loud clicking noise coming from my front drivers side wheel. It sounded like something metal was hanging of the car and hitting the floor. But then I noticed it was in time with the wheel speed. If i speed up, it speeds up and vice versa. I'm fairly sure its not making the noise when reversing, and possibly stops when braking, but cant be sure. Any ideas?
cheers

Check the nuts are tight, seriously. I had this kind of noise and the garage hadn't tightened one of the wheel nuts properly.

Check the clip holding the brake pads in hasn't pinged off, compare the left and right calipers.
