Tick, tick, tick, boom, boom etc.
As you may surmise from the title I have a ticking noise emanating from my drivers side footwell that is louder with the window down. It doesn't happen till above eighty mph (which is fine as I never do above seventy, of course) which puzzles me because if it was a driveshaft on the way out surely it would be noisy nearly from standstill. The wheelwell trim is missing a few clips so it could be that flapping. Thoughts anyone on what a dying driveshaft is supposed to sound like and when? Noise does not change according to direction of steering but I could have sworn it was different the last time we had bad crosswinds, hence the thoughts about flappy trim.

PS. Its been doing it for a while but I presumed it would fail rapidly so investigated the cost of replacement and turned up the stereo untill it went pop. It stil hasn't so I'm now curious.
