Thanks for that Hamwich.
The wheel seems to turn a few inches before responding. It seems also that as I turn a corner the wheels seem to respond a split second after I turn turn the steering wheel. As if it thinks about it for a second before deciding to turn in the direction of the corner.
I think you are right, I need to take it in. As the local dealer is a good way from here I was thinking of taking into a very reputable local garage first as I was told that they were pretty easy things to work on.
