Any ideas what I could be

Wheels rubbing on the arch liners maybe? Have you looked at them if they are you should be able to see where.
I was thinking cv joints.
It’s not rubbing in the arch inliners there’s loads of room there. It know when you full lock and pull off on full lock.
Thanks guys

Didn’t you only pick your van up last week?
Yeah got it Friday and the knocking Sunday. so going to be taking it back at the weekend as I can’t get time off of work. GUTTED
I feel for you mate I’m sure they’ll get it sorted and maybe ask for some sort of compensation for your time
Sounds like a plan mate. Might have to ask and see what happens lol
Has it been lowered?
Mine knocks on full lock when I reverse off driveways. It always has, but doesn't worry me.

Yeah it does it when I full lock in reverse and when I pull off forward.
I had been lowered

Same as mine then.
I've had a good look under mine and nothings a miss, so I just put it down to it being so low, and the bushes/springs moving about.
I'd describe it more of a clunk than a knock.
You can get it checked for peace of mind, but I suspect they won't find anything wrong.
Sounds exactly the same as mine.
Are you in B14’s?
Are they wound right down?
If so, I believe it is nothing to be alarmed about.
@Fish also has the same, and he had it looked at when it went in for service; they sent him a video of it. He will be along soon to confirm, but it is not a problem all be it a tad annoying, I just ignore it now.

Ok thanks guys for the reassurance I’ll just keep an eye on it and see how things go.
DaveyB I think they are wound right down.

hey @Lee newton just for clarity,
what van?
what wheels?
what suspension?
millage?
as above cloncking on full lock is normally related to the outer CV joint either slipping or binding.
but if you have out-spec-suspension (ie B14`s dropped to the max) then the axel/CV/Hub geometry is out of whack/design limits.
basically the angle of the axel in relation to the CV/hub when on full lock can be too much and the CV will bind as its past its normal limits.
Something i come across with a T5.1 4motion - i wanted sportline suspension to lower it a bit but the factory and dealer would not have none of it (because it was a 4Mtn), it was not an authorized upgrade and they told me it could destroy the CV/Axels/Diff`s. . . . . . . so i stuck with the factory spec suspension.
and if your not too sure what a knackered CV joint sounds like take a look at this guy >

Stop over complicating things @Dellmassive 
You'd know if they are on the lowest setting. Your fillings fall out.

It’s a t6 and it’s got Momo 20ich wheels
Not sure what suspension is on it as got the van as it was and it’s 25 Thousand Miles
If I can I’ll take it back to them and see what they say as it’s under warranty
