i've developed a grinding noise when i pull my steering wheel left

Aside from the the obvious opening to a funny - 'Could it be your teeth?' - is this with the car stationary or on the move?

My first thought was worn brake pads!

If the car is on full(ish) lock and you get a grinding sound I thought that means the driveshaft CV is gone and will need to be replaced? Is the sound on full lock?

The sound starts as soon as i start to turn left only....

Just hoping it's something a simple and cheap to do! (sometimes we are lucky)
Have you tried looking to see if the tyre or tyres are catching on anything around the wheel arches?
I know it's a long shot but it's worth a look.
Fingers crossed

My garage man confirmed the cause of my noise, metal thingy behind the front break pad was rubbing. Cost nothing to fix!

Thanks for the input tho!
