Recently after getting my dropped door fixed (maybe a coincidence), the car has developed an annoying clicking noise, which sounded initially to be coming from the driver door, but now it seems to be coming from the front two wheels.

I thought it may have been movement on the door but I've tried moving it up and down and it's fine with no movement (hinge plate moves a bit). Also tried putting the window down but there's no difference. It's more of a metallic clicking noise as opposed to a clunk and can be felt through the steering wheel occasionally.

I've read sticking brakes could be a potential issue (does coincide with a valet the car has had) and there is a little surface rust and a squeal, but oddly it does it occasionally turning a sharp corner. I've tried being a little rougher over speed bumps, with no noise?? No noise when coming to a stop either.

Doesn't seem to be suspension related either. Nor does it happen in reverse.

MOT passed two days ago with no issues.

Any ideas? It's driving me crazy...

Stones in the tires?
Is it a continuous clicking? Could be so many different things.
