Its difficult to get any thing like clos though usng such measurements (I have tried).

Closest I ever got was with a laser level and 4 greased bits of steel.

But it is better - lost the numb feeling around centre with toe out.

Yes Tunnie if you want me to go to WIM - guess my paypal address ;D ;D ;D ;D

no seriously guys how expensive is that pleasure with WIM or that lads in Bolton (NIGEL???) normal tracking is about 20 quid but in most cases - like mine - doesn't help :(,   I'm thinking about a visit, not at the moment, just have no time for all day trip but would be nice to know what to prepare for. :-/

WIM is good £69 incl VAT.

Have other priorities at the moment though

Went to WIM Tuesday 29th September, Tony performed a full Geomety Calibration (most things were a mile out) he then adjusted the lot-£60, all wheels were balanced checked, two needed re balancing- £13, Total £73 + vat.
The car now handles and behaves brilliantly, thank you Tony.
P.S. the car had been checked the day before by 'tossers' with a lazer that cost £35, so yes WIM is worth every penny.
