What's a decat?

i it will not drive straight

First things to check are the tyre pressures and wear, and the tracking.

Decat pipe does work well apparently. Check out the rover mg forums. They are alwasy praised on there.

Your vibration thing sounds exactly the same as mine. I also have noticed that my car is pulling to the left as well! I too have no play in the bearings but I do have a track rod end that is worn. I'lbe replacing this on Sunday, weather permitting, and will let you know if it cures teh problem. Howver, the curent suspect is engine mounts///
