I read somewhere on here that noises when then wheel is on full lock at low speed can be the "suspension top mount" problem. Whatever that is!?

Mine sometimes does it when on full right lock. I need to take it to Renault and see if it is fixable under warranty, but since it doesn't always do it I'll be lucky to explain to them what is wrong.

mine does it all the time now and the wheel is hard to turn

Have you checked the power steering fluid level?

Just gone back from Renault, and it sounds like mine is the suspension top mount thingy. They are going to fix it new week (under warranty) by filing some bits off the front suspension...
