My girlfriend's 10-plate 1.2 Clio (yes, I know... she just wants something small and cheap to get around in...) has an annoying tendency to pull right, which gets worse with speed, as you'd expect. She's had the tracking and alignment done, and had three new tyres too... and the unhelpful Renault main dealer who she bought it from have inspected it and said 'no fault found'. From her description (I haven't driven it yet, but she's a logical computer geek, not a dreamer), it sounds as if the steering is effectively centred 'off-centre', if you see what I mean... I believe the power steering on these is electric, and wonder if there is any way of recalibrating the centre position... Or, if anyone who knows these cars has any other bright ideas.

Ta very much one and all....
