OK, found the problem, ticking sound was the oversized toothed doughnut on the new hubs spinning baggily on the end of the half shaft. Right number of teeth, just hole about 2mm too large. Either i'ts manufacturer mistake or previous owner fitted some none standard shafts. Think very carefully before buying Tyrex TY08571.Will have to wait for dealer to get back to me with a fix. Oh well, A few more days work not getting done on this small holding. Wishing I'd drilled and sunk a bolt through the original hubs now.
Just put the original vac hubs back on in the locked position, no need to fuss about drilling holes in them. I've been competing for four years with mine like that and another four years in my previous Jimny.

On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

The advantage of the screw method is you don't even need to remove the hub. With a 20mm self tapping screw it takes just a couple of seconds. No fussing about at all!
