Another 2 problems with this POS!

Hi folks I'm looking for more help, taking my daughter to the dentist today and when I turn right I have a clicking noise coming from the front drivers wheel, it's only there when turning, no noise when the wheels are straight.

And

The back window wiper has chucked it, the rear washer is working but the arm isn't moving,

Anybody any ideas?

Thanks

Clicking could be a stone in the brakes? or in the edges of the tyre?

Back wiper sounds like a fuse or a broken wire to me...

It's not that kinda clicking, it feels like a more mechanical noise if that makes sense, kinda metallic sounding?

The clicking sounds like a cv joint to me.

For the rear wiper, check the loom for chafing between the body and the hatch.

If the clicking sounds like a bic pen being rolled on it's side then it'll be the CV joint.

Is the rear wiper motor getting power?
Could be damaged wiring where it crosses from the body to the hatch.
You might be able to feel it through the ducting.

Yeah I'd put the clicking down to a CV joint, have a look underneath and see if there is any grease coming from out of the rubber CV boot

And just to add, another +1 for CV joint. Have had a few fail, and sounds like that.
Usually an hour or so at a good garage, plus £25-£40 for the part.
