Last couple of weeks I have noticed an odd sound when I am turning the steering hard left or right. It happens for about the first six or seven miles and then disappears, it sounds like a kind of metallic rotating clatter from somewhere down in the engine bay. I can only hear it when...

Yes, trip and all in kilometers. I had a look at the metric link, seems like its only a matter of time before we go metric. A friend of mine works in Southern Ireland and apparently they have converted without too much trouble. However, I am not sure what the situation is with new cars...
