Still trying to locate a proper alignment centre (In Wales preferably) like 'SimonW' did here:

(Linky)

and hoped to borrow these values in this thread form 'T-Cut' for the 'toe-in'

but upon looking at the quoted values against those from the Silverline Wheels system after the alignment was done there seems to be no correlation - any ideas?

We have the hunter 4-wheel alignment machine at my work in Aberystwyth. It's an awesome machine and you get a print out of the before and after measurements. £30 front toe and £20 rear toe.

Hey 'alz4321',

I did notice an Aberystwyth Hunter entry on the 'Align My Car' site - that's you is it?

[alz4321]

Yeah, that's the one.... www.huwlewistyres.com

[ChestersDad]

Great - now does the New Lampeter one have the same kit?
That's only 15 miles up the road from us!

[alz4321]

Only in Aberystwyth unfortunately ....

[ChestersDad]

Thanks for the info Alun - helpful to me and other peeps I'm sure
Me and the missus will pop in and look U up sometime!

Also Why does it say Total toe-in unladen?

I thought we were to have a full tank of fuel to ensure sufficient load to achieve proper results without pulling left?

Sorry I missed you today. Hope they sorted you out ok. Alun

According to my very expensive and difficult to read MG Rover Manual (available from Amazon), the tracking should be done with the car at 'kerb weight'. That is defined as the car's weight with no occupants and the fuel tank 90% full. This also seems to illustrate how myths evolve. Some say a half full tank, some say a full tank. The correct weight is at 90% full. You'll have to work out how many gallons/litres that is before having it done. I suspect that is no guarantee that the Drift Left Phenomenon (DLP) is resolved.
