When turning yesterday hard right into car park there was an extremely loud screeching noise. We are going to jack it up on the weekend and have a look but any help in pointing us in the right direction would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Thanks Stephen we'll check it out, hope it's not the power steering I believe that could be expensive.

But seriously.....almost certainly a looseish PAS belt....the load on the PAS pump at full lock is immense...thus the belt slips and screeches loudly.
