I believe there is only 'toe' adjustment on the rear by an eccentric tie rod bolt.

Some of the things that can give a camber figure like that is:
a) Damage of one or more components.
b) Weak suspension (the more it settles the more the negative camber)
c) Broken spring.
d) Wheel bearing
e) Uneven weight in the car to one side when measurements were taken.

Grab a tape and measure heights of arches to ground, arches to tyres on both sides, stand back and look at the rear for any slight sagging on one side. Nearly 3 degrees is quite a bit.

What did the 'tracking man' say and why the figures for a Freelander 1 on the printout

if there is no adjustment then something is worn or bent, the question is where to start i sugest suspension bushes 1995 P38 now dead

I'm concerned that its set-up for a Freelander 1... needless to say i'll be taking it back!!

It's only just over a year old and I'm wondering if she should go back to land rover?

Don't worry CG my car is tow bar free!! 

Here's the figures for a Freelander 2

Trawlerman, have you got a virus or something, you keep posting the same thing, I have deleted the other four identical ones

That's a pet hate of mine, they should ensure the steering wheel is clamped/locked in the straight ahead position before adjusting the track rod ends, if not the figures and wheels are OK but the steering wheel isn't.

If the steering wheel is offset then it will be a case of reducing one trackrod a touch and increasing the other by the same amount.
