Everytime I get in to my car and pull off as soon as I turn the steering wheel in either direction their is a knocking sound which sounds like a plastoc noise coming from the dash through the steering wheel, if I go at slow speed and have to turn the steering to enter in or come out from a side road you can hear a click sound which happens on the turn but not on the release of the steering wheel, their is also a grinding feel which happens whether the click sound occurs or not pot holes seems to add to the noise occuring and if I slightly push the steering wheel in to the dash a one of click sound will occur. I can prevent this noise from occuring by adjusting the steering wheel height by moving the steering to a different position but this gets quite frustrating.

i have taken it to renault and have explaned the problem to them but maybe cause my car is under warrenty is a reason why they keep telling me this is normal?

can you please advise on what this may be.
kind regards.

You need to return the vehicle to the dealer and demand they fix the fault ...speak to the manager or take it higher ... if somebody else other than the dealer works on the vehicle it will totally void the warrenty ...

hope this helps
