Mr Pinks - just tried that search for postal codes Derbyshire and then UK - Google report no records. I am probably the world's worst web search geek so please can you help as I'd like to have her Ladyship's tracking verified when we visit Blighty in October. |

In the past I have used ETS, Farndon Rd, Newark. They have a similar digital 4-wheel alignment system (Hunter Pro Track). Very good prices too - something like £20 per wheel adjusted. My previous Passat was set up by them - fixed the endemic rear tyre wear problem! Have yet to take the Freelander - although I will when I buy my winter wheels! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Thank you Mr Pinks - I've followed through with your links and have identified two locations down in Derby. It does appear however that they will not come close to matching your super deal of GBP48.

As I said above, ETS (aka Eden Tyres) in Newark sorted me ok. I guess the Derby one will be just as good. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone) 08 FL2 TD4 SE Manual in Rimini Red (Now Gone) |

Thanks for that dunkley201 - appreciate the feedback. However a cautionary note does exist on the "Hunter Kit - Alignmycar" website in that it makes clear that whilst they fully endorse the technology of the Hunter measuring kit each location is an independent business responsible for its own skills and expertise in utilizing that technology. Hence my request to hear from anyone that has used these two specific Derby outlets re wheel alignment. |

the chap who did mine, said "there is not a lot of people out there who who the same one as me, as it costs 4 times as much as a standard one, there's even less people out there who know how to use them correctly"

I had mine done after the clutch was replaced. I know 'in theory' all should be right afterwards, but I know for sure that when you re-fit the front subframe you can quite easily knock out the tracking.
