When turning left at any speed as the wheel turns there is a scratching or scraping noise that is very distinct when driving with the drivers window down, unsure if its the same on the passenger side.

Faster you go round the corner the quicker the noise so its linked to wheel rotation, and does it if you coast round the corner, so dont think its engine related.

Its my Astra btw, not a Corsa

have you checked the cv boot join on the driveshafs? the sleeve can crack and all the greese can leak out.

cv joints usually make a clicking or clunking noise when they are on there way out.

Is your car been lowered recently? Maybe a wheel is rubbing on something.

hi danny, if it only does it cornering to the left, I would suspect a wheel bearing is on its way out

Well that was my first thought, it does it in a 'straight line' as well, but the tracking is well out, the steering wheel is turned to the left to go in a straight line
