My car has started wandering around a lot, has a tendency to the left but can go in eather direction. it is hard work to keep in a straight line.

As I clobbered the kerb a couple weeks ago (when parking )seems sensible to start by getting the tracking checked.

does anybody know what the setting's should be. Are there any recommended settings which are regarded as Better

Nige,
First thing to check is tyre pressures and tyre wear. I notice you have the mk 2 and as such I believe the dampers are far superior to the crap items on the mk 1, but its worth checking that they are not showing signs of leaking. If you have clobbered a kerb hard, you would be wise to check for a buckled wheel....easily done if you have a trolly jack. IMHO its best to take the car to a reputable place with laser alignment, one with knowledge of a Tuscan is obviously the requirement.

Good luck
G
