Hi
I have a 5 year old Picasso and for about 2 weeks when i make a tight manuvere to the right im getting a noise - as is something is loose/knocking - a metal on metal noise.
Ive taken it into Kwik Fit who could find nothing wrong with the car - any ideas what it could be?

Put wheel on full lock and drive round in a circle (both ways). If it does it even more its a CV joint on the drive shaft.0

That can only be a good thing, usually you need new shock absorbers, pads, shoes, discs and drums when you go theregazza975526570 wrote: »Ive taken it into Kwik Fit who could find nothing wrong with the car

It could be anything...
As Anewman said - you are lucky to get out of there wallet intact.
Is there a good independent garage near you? Probably a stupid question, cos if you knew of one, you would have gone there in the first place....
Ask friends and colleagues of a garage they can recommend. Can't beat word of mouth.Genie

lol @ anewman, i think the people at Kwik Fit are fitters not mechanics so maybe a "proper" mechanics garage is required.I beep for Robins - Beep Beep

Yeah i know and fair point!!! i was actually on the last day of my holiday away and didnt know of anywhere else to call into!!!!
Is CV joint the most likely then? Expensive?0 -
Based on what you say I would say so. No idea how much that sort of thing costs on a Picasso, but I don't think it should cost any more than £150.0

sounds like a c.v. joint to me.
do the test the others have recommended, drive with steering in full lock in both directions,the noise should be more prominent then....work permit granted!0 -
Agree, classic symptom of CV.0

Sounds like the classic curriculum vitae joint problem.Happy chappy0
