Default Clickey de doo da !

hi i'm sure someone will be able to help me ?!? Recently my brother in law decided he was going to buy an S. He did and then consequently when the weather was a bit wet last week the S decided to break traction and try and come around on itself and clipped a curb at about 10-15mph Good old S02's ! it scuffed two alloys (which he's now changed)

My question is it appears from what i can see to be click when you turn the wheel from approx under the gearbox. It gets faster at speed. sounds like a stone in a tire (but its not).

Anyone any ideas as to how much damage he's done and approx cost ?

Thanks

I suspect he can hear a click from under the gearbox when he turns the wheel. Either that or he is a pipistrelle bat and 'sees' in a series of accoustic clicks

the clicking sound is coming from directly under where the gear stick would be. my mechanical knowledge as you mayhave noticed is not the best !
