after what feels like an eternity i have finally got the car fixed. It turns out that the tie rod end was bent. At close inspection it dose look like someone/thing has hit my wheel due the appearance a large mark anyway everything is now fixed and the car is better that ever (new drop links all round too). so the whisky goes to: karlh Your mechanical problems could include loose or broken U-joints on the steering shaft, a damaged steering rack, a loose or broken tie rod end, or a problem with either steering knuckle. You or your mechanic need to give the entire steering assembly a thorough inspection. OR Neilp Could somebody have bumped into your wheel while it was parked? who do you think deserves it? also looking for Rear headlight auto leveling sensor, any thoughts where i can find one.

disabling the ESP and abs units by putting the plugs as mentioned. I will also check for a sticking calliper. As for it happening, it was all of a sudden, I drove 10-20 meters then all this crap started. As for the Tyres, all the pressure are the same. Brake fluid is at correct levels. my drop links rotate quite easily...so i have order 2 new ones (I don't think that is the cause, but need replaced non the less). The car has not been modified in anyway. thanks for all the replies so far.

Ok, the problem is: The problems that follow happened all of a sudden, I drove the car to uni in the morning everything was fine, when I came back to it in the evening the following problems developed. And no I did not hit anything or do anything differently. 1. The steering wheel is not straight. The car moves right when the wheel is straight. 2. When my ESP and slip light come on (and they stay on) the steering goes weird and pulls more to the right. 3. Every so often the cars ESP kicks in even when I am going to a straight line at a constant speed (not slip on accelerating) Nothing under the car appears to be broken there is plenty of steering fluid I don’t know what the problem is and I am worried if I take it to a garaged it will as a small fortune to diagnose the problem. Can anyone offer so help and advice? I feel it might be a steering rack problem or a sensor problem. I would like to have the car fixed to go on a Paul Walker Meet in Edinburgh. First person to give the solution to my problem wins a bottle of whisky. over 18s only Kind Regards Sam
