My D3 was done a couple of times by CLCM in Edinburgh.....as recommended by Andy White who sends all his customers there after suspension work.....very good and very reasonable Thumbs Up
Ps get Andy to put in into tight tolerance mode before taking it along....it's only 10 minutes from him

Top Tyres at Auchtermuchty do 4 wheel alignment. They do a fair bit of Disco suspension as well.

Thanks guys ,I take it both these places are doing the tight tolerance malarkey? Seems to be a nightmare to get somewhere that knows how to do this job correctly on the disco , just need to be sure its getting done correctly !

when I'm driving to work I'm in a midnight sky 12 plate transit van ,not my nice d3 unfortunately ,but I'm almost certain I've seen a Freelander with paws on it! Wink also pass qiute a few d3s and d4s Whistle

You don't "need" TTM for an alignment. It doesn't make much of a difference at all.

Cheers Mike, why does everyone harp on about it on here, saying it's not been done correctly if not put in ttm? I'm hoping the garage did the alignment correctly, he was adamant he could do it. Just don't understand how the steering wheel can move out of centre so much, would think something is wrong?
