[wonka]

high i have a clio 172 02 reg car drives fine with no problems until i turn left when the car make a bad vibrating rumbling noise which actually is quite bad it only does this when i turn left with a little bit speed ie over 20mph any ideas what it is?

Brakes, try stripping your brakes clean the points where the pads sit, mine did somthing similar to this and the pads wernt releasing properly so when i took a left hand bend the disk rubbed on the pads causing it to make a grumbling noise.

is not a rumble noise its more a judder can feel it through the car but only when i turn left doing my head in

Wonka, I had a similar prob with my 172 a year ago mate. Slightly diff tho cos mine gave a bad shudder when going straight too, mostly when i accelerated hard. Steering wheel shook fairly bad. Then gradually did it a lower speeds with less accel. Had it looked at and it was a damaged CV joint, so got it replaced(luckily still a few weeks left on warranty). It was fine after the change.

Do the silly things like checking pressures, dampers and springs.

Also had a similar problem, mine vibrated and almost felt as if the wheel was snatching in my hands when i cornered and on the straight. got the CV joint replaced which fixed it.
