The clicking is probably a CV joint. Its not uncommon on a 15 year old car to need new CV axles. If the noise is not bad its safe to leave it for a while. As they wear more the noise will get louder and happen at less sharp turning angles. There are other possible causes for a noise like that, but that's the most common.

what a dumb a--.
got to my pals,got the welder out and every thing then took the door off and guess what "theres 2 bolts on each hinge"!!what a prat i felt and feel now lol.
you cant see them looking threw with the door on so i thought the hinge was welded on and the weld had broke,it was like a filler the squish when bolting the hinges on that had gone and i had mistaken for welding "what a you know what i felt" but so releived.
looks like im sorting body,hammering engine till it brakes and getting a klze fitted .

I couldn't read that, but it sounded like a bad experience?

Really, I tried three times.

its because we are from different countrys and have different ways of doing things and different understandings of words.

you know your door?
you know the door hinges?
the ones that hold the door on?
i thought they where welded on so i s--- my pants thinking the door will fall off.
took the door off and it has 2 bolts on each hinge that i could not see before taking the door i off.

it was bondo that i thought was weld seems so i feel a right a--.
no problem just tell me if you cant understand.
we all have different names for different things.

I understand english may not be your first language, and learning another language, I understand how hard the technical words can be, but you make american typos....

So you thought your door would fall off simply because it was welded? And you throught it was welded because someone filled in the joint with bondo? What is wrong with welds?

[mx3boyze]

I think he is trying to say a crack by the hinge was filled with bondo and it looked cracked. So he thought there was a weld that cracked and the door was going to fall off, Correct?

[tehbrookzorz]

Hahaha. North Americans don't understand UK English now?

[magiccowinuse]

This is a funny convo to read............from what i could read.

[mx3boyze]

Funny and kind of frustrating lol

[se7en]

I am laughing too BTW.....

My ADVISE is "it was like a filler the squish" watch out for those, and "sorting body" is also bad. watch out for that too.... Also "8 points" of oil ,may be too much...

So now all you have to do is "Sort your rust", and you are good to go.


LOL, just f-n with ya bro, you do have the strongest U. K. accent that I have seen on this forum....

But I understood all that you wrote, I just had to mess with ya....

btw: 8 points of oil....seems high man...

[fowljesse]

I'd love to talk to you on the *Dog and Bone, noluv. I really like British accents. I'm imagining yours as Cockney.
I understood what you wrote, but it was a bit if a challenge.
