Just to confirm the problem was the tracking.

What I did was take off the front driver side tyre and saw the inside was bald completely.

Went to swap over the tyres with the passenger side but couldn't get it off even after taken off all the bolts, so i went into the car and turned the steering wheel to the left to have a look at the passenger side, it to on the inside was bald.

So i thought that is it I am taking this in.

In total it was £136 with the tracking.

WOW what a difference it has made to the driving, it is now as light as a feather and it is not going to the left anymore.

Beware and watch the tyre wear closely.....narrow bands of wear are not down to tracking....such wear types are camber related.

Tracking results in faster wearing of tyres but, over the full face, a narrow band sudgests the tyre contact patch on the road is smaller than intended which will be the camber.
