My 2011 HSE has resistance when cornering, it can be felt mostly on rounabouts, sweeping bends. We have had to landrover garage and others but they still cannot diagnose the problem.?
to explain better, If i am sat still, engine running and turn to full lock the wheel is trying to resist in a rythmic way ( if that makes sense)
I have mentioned this before on here but not very well i fear.
Anyone any ideas PLEASE

Pulsing at full lock (which is I think what you're describing) could be a lot of things. I'd first take a look at the power steering fluid levels. Maybe it's low. Another possibility is that there's a leak in the low pressure side pulling in air. Check to see if the fluid is milky.

I'm assuming the landy has standard tyres and rims and that they're not rubbing on something.

Hi 4X4Dog The car has 4 brand new tyres they have been aligned and are a standard fit. The fluids have been checked by Landrover and seem ok !

Are Land Rover not replicate the issue or are they saying it's nothing?

Check the strainer in the power steering reservoir , it could be restricted due to crap from a faulty steering rack, eventually messes up the pump as well if ignored

They are saying ' can't find anything wrong with it.' Its 'just lighter steering on this model' Back to the seller it goes!

Could the problem be the bearing on top of the strut? Has that been checked?
