Ah OK. I wondered if it was an anomaly with 3.36, but maybe it's just my lousy polar alignment! I was getting quite good at it with 3.35.

Unfortunately, drift aligning might only illustrate how much drift there is and not give you any clues as to what's causing it, but I'm no mechanical expert (far from it!)
