Crank clicking

I had a similiar click that was driving me mad.
One thing to watch for on hollowtech II cranks is corrosion on the splines where the near side crank attaches to the axle(?). I noticed some slight corrosion on the edge of the little dimple where the safety tab slots in. A little file down and then lather in grease before reassembly followed by a good dose of GT85 on the chainring bolts.

The click hasn't dared come back so far, but I don't know if it was the chainring bolts or the splines....

gone in for its free 200 mile service this morning. annoyingly it stopped clicking on the way there!! can you believe it?? hopefully itll not return now. I told the LBS about it and they said theyd tighten everything up and check for issues.
hopefully thats the end of it.
