    They have issued a service notice, which my local service centre got; it's a checklist of procedures to follow in the event a car is pulling, which they followed.
    Yes, Service Manager confirmed ... it pulled to one side (all the way to the other lane) in less than 6 sec @ 100Kph.
    They rotated the tyres ... problem rectified (for now) @ 3300Klm.
    However, I pointed out that they had already rotated the tyres @ 1000Klm, for exactly the same problem (it's on record) and asked if they would need another rotation in another 2000Klm?
    The Service Manager replied that if so, it would confirm in his mind that it is the tyres and not a problem with the car.
    The veering to the right is re-surfacing for my car @ approx 4900Klms. It's getting to the stage where I'm getting so frustrated that I'll just have to take it in again ... When I get some time, soon, hopefully...
    This time ... I'll be hitting them up for five new tyres.
    Well @ 5310 Klms I took the car in and asked for 5 new tyres ... NO GO!

    However they did conduct Steps 9 and 10 of Service News SN003T06.
    Step 9 Carry out 4 wheel alignment and check front cambers.
    Result = Left 0.1 and Right 0.7
    They loosened off all of the front subframe bolts and pryed the subframe (left or right) and pushed it as far forward as possible to attain as much castor as possible. Then making sure the steering wheel was straight they set the front and rear toe to maximum toe in.
    Step 10 Test drive

    Well ... I don't think it has fully rectified the issue.
    I don't know if these adjustments will cause any other issues.
    Will need some time to test it at speed.

    If it is not ok, I'll be back .... step 16 in the process is to call the technical department to get authorization to replace bad tyres, so if I have to go through to step 16 I will.
