No nothing like this sound at all, its more cracky, sounds like some plasting is being put into a blender, really bad noise! anyone else had similar sounds?

When i start my car from cold, im getting a horrible noise from the engine bay when steering from half-full lock, it sounds almost like something is catching and the PAS becomes intermitent.

Ok great, so how much am i looking at buying the discs/pads (standard OEM parts) all-round, all ready to go then?
