I have a KIA K2700 4wd diesel doublecab pick-em-up truck. When in 4wd I get a clicking sound from the left front wheel, especially when I make a left turn. ?A big problem? ?A small problem? ?Easily fixed? Or can it wait until the next servicing since to get it there is a bit of a problem. It is still under warranty.

Sounds like a bad CV joint to me. Have the CV shaft replaced. You'll have to determine if it's coming from the left side or the right side, though if it's louder when you make left turns, it's more likely to be the one one the right side. (The right side's wheel needs to rotate more when you make a left turn)
If you're hearing the clicking noise I would definitely recommend replacement ASAP. The joints can be a failure point and if it breaks while your in motion the shaft may still be connected to the transmission it could whip around and damage something else.
Definitely recommend getting it replaced as soon as you can.
It's not an extremely difficult task. Typically they replace the entire CV shaft with a rebuilt one.
