Hi all. New member here. Please can someone suggest what the issue is with my Meriva 1.7 cdti Design ? There is a dull clunking noise from the front of the vehicle (every few seconds) when have any lock on the steering on both RH and LH sides. Doesn't make the noise when steering in a straight line - but it's there as soon as you put any lock on. It's quite loud - every few seconds at low speed (haven't tried to go any faster - I just put the car away again. Have googled this but apparently it can be one of several things causing this noise so I'm not wiser and thinking the worst about the cost of repairs. Please could anyone advise if they've had a similar issue, particularly with the Meriva A 2002 - 2007, and the approximate cost of repairs. TIA. Gary

Hi Gary, welcome to the Club

Initially it sounds like a worn CV (Constant Velocity) Joint is causing the sound.
Usually only one side makes a noise but both may be worn to the same level, especially if the rubber gaiter is split and allowing the grease to escape and dirt to enter the joint.
See if you can pop it into a garage for them to evaluate it and replace the joint (only the outer joint and not a new shaft as cheaper) as necessary depending on what they find

Thank you very much. The car has done 62,000 miles. I think that may be when issues like worn CV joints start occuring plus the roads in this area are absolutely full of deep potholes which obviously doesn't help
