1. when braking lightly the car swerves to the right and when brakes released it straightens up, if you brake firmly it is not noticeable and there is no pulling under acceleration. i have seen a post that points to wishbone bushes but people have still noted issues once replaced. a local garage stripped and checked the brakes and the performance was equal on a brake tester!

2. the windscreen washers do not work, when the switch is activated there is no noise from the washer pump and then sometimes it will work and pressure up and spray the headlamp washers for about 1 second. is there just one pump that does them all ?

3. the rear doors do not open from the inside even with the child locks disengaged.

any help especially with the braking issue would be most appreciated.
when did this come on ? Have you had just one wishbone replaced ?

My bet is that you have one volvo wishbone on there and some cheap copy where the bushes don't have the same compliance as the genuine part . i have been there, seen it all before ..
