Hey man, rear steering rack (between back wheels) then insert locking tool like so:

Dbo - I had that done too, then had it redone with the locking tool. Fook me what a difference!

Hi guys, got the locking tool from Mart (thanks again).

I took the car back to Fields Tyre's in Hove, and they did the tracking again with the pin in place.

I also bought a new tyre and swapped the others around so I now have 2 Avon's on the front and 2 Haida's on the back. Thought it might help if I had matching compounds on both sides...just until I can afford 4 good uns on each corner.

All is great now and the car is running straighter than it ever has.

I will also add that Fields Tyre's were really helpful and would recommend them to anyone. They were more than happy to have the car back and to have the tracking redone. I was however waiting for the inevitable "that will be another £72 please sir", but that never happened.

Thanks for all of the advice guys.
