Probably the wire in the steering wheel is catching.
Good luck if you've got an air bag!

Yeah i got an air bag, the only reason i didnt think it was my horn was because my horn is shagged and sounds real gay, the noise from turning the wheel was a little different, but still could be, havnt a clue how to fix it, the problem only occurs now and again at full lock so i dunno might just live with it

Disconnect your horn!
Its by the brake cylinder.
Then either just connect it for MOT's or wire another switched 12V supply to it.

My power steering makes wierd noises on full lock aswell.

The horn is located behind the front grille on all Bs. The horn up near the master cylinder is for the factory alarm.
