When manoeuvring car at low speed there is a screeching noise from the steering especially when moving to full lock???????

Sounds like the drive belt slipping and squealing. Check the tension. On full lock the pump is working at Max output pressure and the relief valve in the pump sings a bit - come off the full lock stop a bit.
