Mine has just passed its MOT a week ago,while it was being done I got the front wheels balanced as I had a lot off wobble in the steering and I
was sure they just needed some new weights.But its just the same,anyone any ideas?

You need to get it tracked.

I had this issue with my cab - balanced wheels, swapped them all around one by one, but no difference. Had the tracking done and it's gone away. Not the only cause I'm sure, but worth forking out £20 or so to check before you go any deeper.

National are doing a 50% discount on a 4 wheel track, not sure if there is one by you, but it sounds like a great deal. They'll let you bring it back after a couple hundred miles to recheck it too.!
