Why does my car judder when I'm steering on full lock?
My 2014 MINI Countryman has a fault. When on full lock, reversing or forward, the car judders. I have taken it to two local garages, and neither have any idea what the issue is. Can you please advise?

Do not use full lock - it imposes a huge strain on the driveshafts. Always wind a bit of lock off when you hit the stops.
