Is one side hotter than the other? Can also try touching the calipers. I wouldn't touch the discs though just in case I'm starting to wonder if one of your brakes is seized and or dragging. That might upset the braked LSD system which will flash the TC light. I will try this after my trip home tonight and report back on this one 18 minutes ago, Jetpilot said: If you can repeat this behaviour every time, get a mate in the car and video it and also try it with the tcs turned off, how are you slowing the car down, gear changes or brakes? What equipment did your long trusted friend mechanic use to check the alignment measurements? I am still yet to try without tcs which i should have by now, i slow down by just the brakes and engine braking most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re up for a trip further south I use FCM motorsport in Bristol’s they’ve been great... Don’t look like much but they know they’re stuff and came highly recommended. They had a good check during MOT and (though I was a sceptical at first) went with his advice to get some super pro poly bushes in the front (yet to finish the back) which alone has transformed the handling and made it feel way more planted... I’d recommend doing this either way if you can in addition to what’s already been recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob332 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) This sounds like an issue with the viscous couplings in your differential. It's like the diff is locking too easily, which would cause the oversteer. If everything else has been checked like arbs, droplinks, struts etc this would be the next area I would be looking at. Or it could even be the quality of the lubricating oil in it. Could be overheating/tightening up due to poor quality oil or lack of. Might be worth changing the oil if you have exhausted all other options. Edited May 24, 2018 by Rob332 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
