my mini keeps pulling to the left when driving, not dramaticaly but noticable. Thought it may have been the tyres as they were prety much gone, but have had them changed and balance and has made no dif. any other ideas what could be causing the problem? thanks

check your left tie rod for a bend. In fact, check them both while you're at it. Chances are it's that (which has pulled our tracking out), or your tracking is just cack.

down to the local tracking place i'm afraid. check your yellow pages.

While I thnk, is the car sitting level? Sometimes a collapsed donut (spring) can also cause a drifting.
