When you do find a place - here are the factory settings as most places have no idea...

Factory settings for 4 wheel alignment

(Tracking) Toe in mm= 1.75N +/- 1.25
Camber In Degree.= 0 deg 20 +/- 30 N
Castor In Degree=. 1 deg 50+/- 20

nearest one - doncaster - can't do it cos the cars too low to get on their machine!  barnsley dealership said they could do it but would be at least £70!  thought that was a bit steep?  got a couple of options now so i should be okay - panic over hopefully!
