And there is Dandman as well. He is just a few miles from me but we havent met up yet. Will do when I am back on the road.

Problem solved (nearly).

A very hard stamp on the brake led to sudden give in brake peddle. The car is now back to equal braking without the pull. Hence I will go with sticky right front caliper as the probable problem. (Rules out the bushes/ hoses as the problem?). New parts ordered to replace as the permanent solution.

Thanks for all the advice and help.

Good stuff! That sounds like the culprit.

Keep us in the frame too for a meeting of Cork and other Amazons! And there's Dan from Carrigaline. Spring is sprung?!
