I posted about this some time ago but I want your thoughts again now that I have a 2nd opinion. Basically, when driving on a road no matter how straight and flat, the wheel needs to be turned slightly (but noticeably) to the right in order to keep in a straight line. If I were to bring the wheel dead centre in perfect alignment with the column, the car drifts off (reasonably promptly) towards the kerb.

All my cars do it, UK roads have a camber that causes it as far as I know, even if they look flat, there usually not.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was an issue when I drove my Dad's Audi A4 and didn't notice it. Perhaps it's a 4x4 thing that makes it more noticeable. Camber did occur to me but the way it heads off towards the kerb made me think it might be something else.

Mine Does it - it's perfectly normal and yes I think the fl2 is a little bit more sensitive than other cars I have driven...
