I flew the P4P yesterday and had a couple of wierd things, took off flew forwards and when you came to a halt the drone would make a sort of half circle each time, I then noticed there was an error in the sd card, brought the drone back and landed, which was a bit fun because each time you went to hover it would drift in a half circle, I rebooted and then see the sd card showed ok and the drone stopped drifting when flown ?

Sounds like compass isn't calibrated right.  Try a complete recal, and re-format the card too.

I will do that, was under the impression that you should not calibrate unless it was telling you to in the menu ? I did a compass calibration when they fixed the IMU problem

Be sure to take off from non metallic surface.  Concrete has rebar mesh.

I would try an IMU calibration first, and then another compass calibration. It could be that you might gave gotten a bad compass calibration from the last time you did it. Please try Paulemus's advice as well.
