thanks for that, southampton is like 70 miles from me i guess i can find someone that uses the hunter systems and can use Snap on system to put the car into tight tolerance mode. anyone used any around london, or 20-30 miles within london?
thanks!

THANK YOU!
I will go to the once i find some tyres and get them replaced, (soon) i have to hold my steering wheel to the left by like 5-7cm and then it goes straight! so pretty bad.
Geoff, would you know the cost estimate for the wheel alignment?
thank you

Another vote for the Kwikfit offer
They will discount to £85 for 2 years worth or realignments so well worth it

Interesting comments regarding Kwik Fit
I phoned our local branch yesterday, they do have a Hunter machine,
he quoted me £49.99 if it just needed adjusted on the front.
I then pressed for a maximum price should it need anything else and he quoted £129.99 max.
Never said anything about the other deals mentioned on here
From their website they claim to have the Hunter fitted at over 500 branches.

I got the price at the Kendal branch. I’ll try and dig out the invoice.
I just asked for the best price tbh.

thanks
I'm particularly keen on the 2 year deal as I need a check having just replaced the rear upper arms, but the subsequent MOT highlighted a bit of play in the front upper arms and one of the rear hub carriers.
Would prefer to get the alignment checked sooner rather than later to preserve the tyres but replace the other bushes when time and convenience suit.Not such a Disco Newbie now!
