    Well, after all that....it WAS the wheels. I went into the workshop this morning and quietly suggested to the chief technician that they swap the wheels front for rear, back to what they were before the off road wheels were put on three months ago.
    Lo and behold, they phoned me a few hours later. No more veering right.

    These people are supposed to be the experts, yet they hadn't figured that simple solution out?? What th...?

    Thanks to all who contributed their suggestions to this thread. Maybe the LR technicians should subscribe to Aulro, they might pick up some practical solutions and clear thinking. Even the bleeding obvious:-)

    Graeme, good call on the offset issue. Now the trick is to find out which one of the rear ones is a dud.

    Good to find that there was no problem with the suspension anyway.

    If it is an offset difference, I'd expect the one that was on the left will have less positive offset (eg 40 mm vs 53 mm std - a wider track) giving steering priority under drive to that side.

    Did the steering pull left, even slightly, on overrun?

    Not sure Graeme. The mechanic said they took it into the tyre shop where all the rims were checked independent of the tyres and 'force balanced'. They were found to be 'out' but to what degree I don't know...they were talking 80 grams here and 30 grams there which sounds quite a lot to me.
    In any event, there was previously no noticeable pull to the left on over run, that I could detect.
    It may all come down to buying aftermarket wheels without knowing where they come from.
    All seems good now though. Thanks again for the wise input.
