Using the roundabouts to turn the steering did not change the sound.
It was only when I got to work that I got the car jacked up and with the help of the colleague found the front drivers side spring had snapped , but in two different places. The first looked a lot older as there was surface rust on the fracture, but the new one was also digging into the tyre cutting a new groove into it, which was the rubbing sound!
Spoke to garage and they will replace the broken one, but wondering should they not replace both? Will also need a new front tyre as well

It makes sense to replace both, but all the same, its more costly to do so. Remember, you'll need an alignment afterwards.
