Finally took apart my rear axle to try to track down this annoying click. Changed out the axle seal, replaced the brake pads and rotor. Cleaned up the nearly seized caliper slides. Also cleaned the axle splines and wheel hub and applied loctite 648. Just waiting for 24hrs before I take it for a test drive.

That will be it. Did mine a few years ago and been fine since.

Cheers mate, I know you did mention it a while ago and I didn't really understand exactly where you meant and not wanting to look daft asking.
That makes me feel better after thinking it was replacement time for certain parts in the axle. Well, it could still be that after 220.000mls. Better still.

Never noticed before but there's an inspection hole near the bottom of the flywheel housing, facing forward. Shouldn't this be blocked off normally?

Isn't that a wading drain that has removable plug?

It's quite big, a large cork might be good[/QUOTE ] Is it the access for the torque converter bolts, if yes it should have a cover held on with two bolts, I was thinking of a 13mm threaded hole, photo would be helpful.

Difficult to get a pic, but this is taken from the front axle. You can see the flywheel inside, just. More obvious when it's running
