could be related to the diff work, maybe not assembled it correctly.

Sounds like axle 'axle windup' to me, as said something's amiss in the build. |

Like Ian has intimated this will no doubt be related to the diff work.

The problem only occurs on right hand bends. Car drives normally through left bends. Just had a call from dealers and the checking has been checked, with no fault found. Reckon its gotta be the way the diff was re constructed. Will find out tomorrow. Not at all impressed by main dealer though Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass |

Tyre Pressures? pretty basic I know but they make a hell of a difference if they are wrong and/or at differing pressures also do you have "rotational" tyres? were they put back on the right way round and were all the clamps and bolts replaced? as this is dealers we're on about they could have done anything just a thought.

Tyre pressures spot on, tracking checked and rechecked and brand new set of Goodyear Efficient Grip SUV's. Dealers have found the lower suspension arm on front nearside to have excessive play on it. That's being replaced, but I dont think for a minute, thats the issue. Cars still in dealers. Seems like they're going through a process of elimination Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass |

Interesting....the wheel alignment should have been a full 4 wheel job but it would be impossible to do accurately if the front lower arm was screwed. Make sure they re-do the alignment when the lower arm has been sorted.

I also thought it as interesting how they managed to do the 4-wheel alignment with a faulty suspension arm. To be honest, I don't have much faith in any garages anymore. It seems you literally have to explain everything to them. I guess that's due to the fact they are no longer mechanics and more 'fitters'.
