Groaning noise when turning the steering quickly to the left only.

Hi,

I've got a Defender TD5 MY-2003 with 37k miles on the clock. When I turn the steering wheel quickly to the left (more than half a turn) I get a groaning noise which comes from the engine area. As I say this only happens when turning the wheel quickly and in one direction only. In honesty it's not a big issue to me personally however, if it's something that can be fixed easily or cheaply I would be inclined to get it sorted. The power steering fluid is at the correct level and appears to be clean.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks.

Raywin, thanks will give it a go.
Yes, it's really got 37k on it. One owner from new, mint condition, MOT history etc all verifies it too.......it did cost me though !
