Pulling to one side in wet:
I would check tyre pressure and tyre wear!!

ASR:
This device restores torque to the engine to prevent the wheel skidding as a
result of lock. The JTD versions are fitted as standard with ASR (Anti Slip
Regulation). The ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) system, an integral part of the
VDC, optimises traction at any speed with the aid of the brakes and engine
control.
