lack of grip

i recently bought a secondhand 306 1.8 xs and im worried about the the lack of grip i was goin round a round about about 10mph and the back end slid out, fort this could of been down to the rain or if there was oil on the roundabout but half an hour later is happened again going through a s bend at about 30
if any one has had this problem or similar could you please write back and say what it could and how i can resolve it thanks

The 306 as all peugeot suffers from left off oversteer if you are cornering hard and lift off the throtle then the back will let go and slide but at thoses speeds it is unlikly. if i was you i'd check the tyres first though.

the next morning my driver side rear tyre was flat this was beacause the dust cap i bought when over tighted let the air aout my tires great aint it could that of helped it side out aswell

cheers

I think you might have found your problem. if your tyres are flat you'll have hardly any grip especially in the wet

yea it must of been was fine yesterday in the wet wiv the tyre inflated
cheers
