My car has just starting making a sound like a 2 stroke engine when im turning with wheels . Does any one know what that could be .
The only other issue i have been having is the auto cahnge between gear 3 and 4 has been a bit delayed . 2 seconds before it changes .

This is a US based site and these cars are not sold here. No matter, try checking exhaust parts, engine/transmission mounts and of course all fluid levels.

Noises with a delayed shift only at 3 to 4? How much steering do you do when going fast enough for higher gears?

No the noise is not when changing gear
its when turning at low speed
when turning its making a at tat tat tat sound . one guy said from outside it sounded like a 2 stroke motor sound . pretty sure it was happening both left and right turning ..
the issue makes the car not at all good for driving .

The gear change delay is a different issue which started 2 drives before sound started . it used to be a smooth transition . but now one gear change it jolts after a few seconds . when it should of changed already .
its only happening between cahnge 3 to 4
its a 5 gear auto transmission .
thanks

If you have 2 unrelated problems then you need to ask 2 separate question although as Tom already told you, we don't have that car here in the US.

If you are getting a repetitive clicking noise when accelerating around a turn, then I would suspect a bad C/V joint.
