Hi everyone. I need some imformation please, when i turn left or right i get like a slow tapping noise or if you like a rattle at the front end, sounds like its coming from under the wheel arches [its not very noisy] anyway took it for a run turned full circle left and right a few times everything seems to be ok no noise at all and also it seems to be more so when i'me turning left and its not happening all the time. Once again would appreciate some advise.Many thanks andy. :?

Sounds like you need to replace your CV joints, or at the very least the boots.

Probably forced a bit of grease into the worn CV track - it'll soon knock again.......... :(
