A big thank you to the BJ fraternity. The noise was very simple to resolve. I took the wheel off, (ali Toblerone) to check the brake calliper to see if it was loose.
1.The wheel nuts weren't really loose, but not rock solid!
2. Tightened the calliper, seemed very solid, so probably a waste of time.
3. Replaced the wheel using a breaker bar to tighten.
Clicking gone yippee :lol: :lol:
Problem now, is it will now be impossible to remove the wheels with a standard Suzuki wheel brace!!!
The moral - always check after garage changes tyres.
Again thank you all, Tony.

Use a torque wrench to tighten them. Or you will be proved right
Always check anything you didn't do yourself: so you might as well do it yourself in the first place
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
