   Hi
   Not a guaranteed occurance...but sometimes when I turn the car there will be a large 'knock' noise
   Any ideas?

   If it's the CV it will probably make a tapping noise rather than just one noise when you turn and put your foot down, if it is that than just replace the complete drive shaft (about £70.00), very easy to change.
