Hi Guys, Sorry for not updating sooner. Thanks for all the advice regarding both issues (the steering wheel alignment and the jerk in first and second gear) Firstly the steering wheel alignment. I have not had a change to get it professionally checked out but am intending to as soon as possible. Thanks for the advice David. Regarding the jerking in first and second gear, you were spot on, the fuel hose had split at the base of the pump causing it to suck air when half full. I have cut the end off and re-connected it but intend to replace it properly cos realise this will probably slit again. Thanks again for the advice.
