    *update*

    Car has been checked and is fine. The floor will get hammered down with a chunk of wood at some point, though as the back seats are never used there is no rush.

    No reason has been found for it's new habit of 'drifting'. It did it to me too, going up a hill on a tight bend and the thing just 'drifted' to the other side of the road, I was in 3rd gear (and it was struggling so I should have been in 2nd). It doesn't spin out, just sorta drifts.... But no reason has been found :confused:

    Gremlins.

    try putting a big bag of sand or cement in the middle of the boot and see if that sorts it

    as an after thought are the wheels and tyres exactly the same size on the rear axle,any difference however small could cause a problem

    They look it, alloy wheels, and all the same.

    Personally I think the car is just a turd.
