Hey zone.
I've got a very bad clunking I can feel through my steering wheel I can only feel it when in turning at very low speeds and it's awful if I'm stopped and turning the wheel. As always any help would be much appreciated.

Does the wheel feel "loose" when you move it side to side when stationary? Mine was and the rubber in the steering UJ had perished.

It feels fine u til you put it under load about half a turn and it feels like it's bouncing off the power steering

when is m.o.t due ? their spot the issue.
get the front of the ground and , shake the wheel at hands at 3 and 9
then 6 and 12 . while someone else is looking under the car at all ball joints and front suspension components.
you might be able to hear a knock. while your their check steering rack is fixed solid bolts tight and play in outer or inner tie rods ( on each end steering rack )
