Already have - doesn't seem to mention ANYTHING about adjusting camber.  By this I assume it means you can't!  ;D

Hang on... Just found the following in me Haynes manual:

"Checking and adjusting the front wheel camber angle should be entrusted to a VW dealer or suitably equipped specialist. [...] Adjustments are made by loosening the front suspension subframe mounting bolts and repositioning the subframe".

It says rear camber and toe-setting is not adjustable.

It also quotes the following settings:

Front camber angle
(sports suspension) -33' +/- 30'.
(standard suspension) -30' +/- 30'

Toe-Setting
(sports suspension) 0 degrees +/- 10'

These must be the settings that the VAG specialist that I went to used when they checked my camber and tracking.  (They said that they had checked them and that they needed no adjustment).  I reckon it'll be OK - I'll just leave it.

Thanks for all your help.
Richy.
