   Possibly your driveshaft inner cv joint/s are worn mate.

   I might be wrong but I don't think they really check things like that in Mot unless you told them about the problem they might not even notice it. but i'd go with shafts aswell

   if you lock and push it all the way to the stops of the rack, it will make all sorts of funny noises.

    d d d driveshafts. happened to me not to long ago, change whatever side the noise is coming from, either that you risk shearing the driveshaft off if too much torque is applied, like me

    I read that fully lock is OK but not if held for more than 30 seconds. At least on a discovery 300 tdi haha
