    Just wondering if my car needs the tracking done,

    Its a 01 mini cooper and when i turn right it feels stiff but when i turn left it feels really loose, if that makes any sense? It's the best way to describe it!!

    Could be an electric power steering problem.

    PaintDoctor on here knows his minis, I'd suggest editing the title to include mini in it.

    have you checked your tyre pressures??

    also check your tyres for uneven wear???

    (I was going to say "wearing on the inside" but this conjured up images of somebody taking the tyre off to check inside!!! :D)

    Allo Allo!

    Check the basics first, tire pressure and the likes, but it could all be the power steering pump on the way out, especially as it's a 01. If it hasnt gone by now it's due to go. Where in the country are you?

    Oh, didn't realise you were in Cork. I'm around alright, if you want me to take a look PM me. I'm up to bugger all else anyway with the snow. Painting outdoors with waterbased paint when the temp is cold enough to turn water into ice is no fun :)
