So I had the suspension changed yesterday & really very happy with the way the van feels/looks now. The thing I noticed on my way home is that the steering wheel is now turned partly to the right when travelling in a straight line. Do we think having the tracking looked at/adjusted would sort?
Steering wheel off centre

Yes get the tracking checked!
Weirdly when I had my clutch changed the other week the steering wheel ended up off centre (subframe moved maybe ?)
Went back to VW and they sorted the tracking which fixed it.
yes, when you have any suspension modifications done you should get it tracked. preferably using a hunter system which will do a 4 wheel laser alignment.
NOTE: have you had your bushes changed / upgraded to poly at the same time. if not GET IT DONE! and make sure you have the rear adjustable bushes fitted. this will then allow for a proper 4 wheel alignment to be done. when lowering the rear wheels tend to toe in, causing excessive tyre wear and results in worse mpg due to the increased rolling resistance.

You had a clutch done at VW?? Christ... I hate to think what that would of cost
All in plan paid fortunately!
Clutch slave cylinder failed so all the labour was paid for, only paid for the clutch plate.
