i think its definately steering related as the steering wheel turn to the left (on its own) almost immediately after i let it go.
it seem slightly more difficult to turn right (against the way the car wants to go) than it does to turn left.

First check everything is tight, then wind the steering out each way and measure the amount of thread showing between the track-rod end and the track-rod itself.

Tie rod bushes ok? - mismatched castor angle causes the car to pull to one side...
