Some times the break pads move about which i hear, and the diffs can sometimes grumble if you going from lock to lock, or is it a constant click?

This is on Auto DCCD and it sounds like a CV joint would on a front wheel drive car. But its only in reverse and its a only got 39000miles. Hope i dont have to change CV's.

Check CV Boots for leaks... My front left is doing this just now and it's a knackered boot with the CV itself soon to follow no doubt.

any more ideas guys? As i understand it, if its a cv joint it should do it in full lock forwards and reverse. This only happens in reverse.

I think the newage suffer rear shock noise. This is defo fron the front, maybe even the gearbox area. Will have to wait till i can get under her to see whats wrong.
