Cheers guys i'll try and check all those at the weekend,seems strange tho as it came on all of a sudden.

Bit of a weird one but the steering on my 2003 2.0hdi has become heavy at slow speed and if you take a slow corner either left or right you have to self center the steering wheel yourself the last half a turn of the steering wheel,if you take your hands off the wheel the car would just keep going in...

What's the old saying......live and learn,won't be doing it again

I even wrestled the damn headlight out and tried another but it had no bulbs so put a bulb in the wrong holder again!!!!
Well at least i've greased the headlight bolts as they were a pig to get out as they were rusty so it'll just slip out next time
