Only hear this when I drive with the window open but when I brake I get one metalic click?
Any ideas before I have a look at the weekend?
Its the drivers side

Might be the anti roll bar bushes Dave.

Our old one did this, changed the bushes and it stopped.

Sounds like the pads moving - maybe a shim missing/loose. It's not uncommon for the pads to move slightly in the callipers.

Sounds like brake pads to me. Some of the cheaper pads on offer have locating lugs slightly too small causing the pads to flop about !!! Have you changed the padds recently?

Drive alongside a wall apply the brake pedal on and off , does the clicking noise change? if so its your pads foating up and down the caliper pins as they should do!

I remember this from a couple of months ago where another member had the same issue and it turned out that the wrong year pads had been fitted at some point that were slightly too small and were moving when the brakes were applied, i'd be fairly sure that this is your issue.
