All sorted guys it was a controller issue at the side of the hydraulic pump 1. Run loose inside see picture! This was keeping the swashplate open!

One more quick and easy test.
Put machine in "backup mode", use toggle for throttle up until max rpm.
Now travel without using upstairs function.
Does it travel straight?
If so, the PRV needs adjusted/ calibrated/ repaired.

By placing the machine in backup mode, PRV becomes fixed value (70% of power, IIRC).
We have sorted it mate it was the controller at the side of pump won the swash controller came loose inside and came off the thread.
