My '03 MC with sunroof has developed a worrying trend... when turning into a petrol garage / uphill driveway, turning full left lock with steering, a loud 'bonk' / 'shudder' / knock is felt through the car, as if something nasty has broken / snapped...

Anyone else experience this / know what it may be / have had it resolved?

- is it the sunroof?

- is it the steering?

- HELP !

thanks

Hmmm - it's only an 03 - i'd take it to the dealer if you are at all worried - incase you're doing more damange by continuing to use it!

Agreed, take it to the dealer, and if possible take the dealer and fill up with petrol / at least demonstrate the circumstances that the problem occurs, you may also want to take note in which gear this occurs, and try in a different gear as to what you normally drive in.... etc, go see the dealer, thats what they are there for !
