Fine, advice RE wheel alignment accepted.
I run quite a large fleet of ancient Saab 900's and 99's - love those cars. They also have a fully adjustable setup. The guy I use isn't the nearest. I go past many other tyre shops specially to go and see Mark at WheelPower in Brockley. His wheel alignment setup is very high tech and he does my camber and caster settings according to the specifications I give him. I completely trust him to get it right. I've used other places like Kwik Fit and another independent and in both cases they made a hash of my setup. One of my cars is a track car, so very sensitive to correct setup.
Note the checquer boards attached to the wheels. They match up with the magic eyes mounted on the wall above the car. Since this photo was taken he's further updated the equipment and purchased a more precise ramp for the car to stand on while the readings are done. The measurement can be plotted to within hundredths of a degree.
