i have a problem with the entire content of my page.
The problem being without a scrollbar present my content is about 20px to the right, but when a scrollbar is present it shifts to the left.
I have to compensate for this for an absolute postioned div by positioning it over the content by 20px until a scrollbar is present as it rests at the right hand side of the page.

This is a crappy fault on my behalf but i just want an easy way to fix this. Any quick and easy suggestions? Would i be better off making the main content div an absolute one?

    One quick and dirty way is to always force the scrollbar to be visible with:

    html { overflow-y: scroll; }

    Not ideal, but it standardizes the appearance if the lack of scrollbar offset is breaking your design.
