   should have, get under the bonnet n check 4 leaks. is it lowered or got big wheels?? if so it might feel a bit heavier.

   out of ideas then mate. if it dry steers (moving the wheel whilst your not moving) freely then wouldnt worry about it, how heavy is it? ive never driven a furio/westcoast but if your last car had power steering aswell it might just be the differance between the two that your not used to. take it 2 a good garage if your that worried they would probs check it 4 free anyway (the garage i take mine dosent charge for diagnostics)
