had a front ender not so long ago, now the front drivers side wheel sits very close to the left hand part of the arch. so close in fact i dont think i cud go an inch bigger then my 14" wheels. my question is what would possibly need changing to correct this? and would it be costly?
thanks.

Wheel allignment, twisted chassis, bent axle. Could be a number of things.

Alignment, doubt it.
Chassis, most likely.
Axle, doubt it.
You have most probably bent the chassis leg.

Cost me £300 to get one chassis leg jigged. The guy did a very good job. the worse the leg, the more it costs.
Do you have a pic of how the wheel is sitting?

on the right i can nearly fit my hand past between arch and tyre

Sounds like the chassis leg. If you can get beneath the car, measure the gap between the tie bar mount to the wishbone mount. If one is shorter than the other, it's the chassis leg.
