Hi guys,
Anyone shed some information in to a clicking noise coming from the drivers side front bumper area marked in the pic below. After driving the car and coming to a stop.

For me, it would do that when I would have a cold start. Driving there was no noise, but when I shut it off, it would clink a lot like it was loose or something. It was broken and needed to be replaced. I will have it back tomorrow. 2014 v10 BTW

There are rads in there and a fan, it maybe just the thermostat clicking in and out or expansion and contraction of the rads themselves

fans in there go on when tempature goes up...example for me when car is sitting idle..they will go on also
when i go for a drive and car is hot i turn off car and they stay on.

Hello. First - easiest stuff - assuming you're driving on pavement, check for a nail or screw in your new tire. (Yup, click, click, click!) Assuming the brakes on that side are OK, then either your wheel bearings or driveaxle is suspect. More as I know from motor trader look under there with a flashlight and see if the rubber cv boot is still OK or cracked or in tatters. Usually the joint lasts until the grease surrounding it goes bad...
