Well, now that the Oracle of All Things Engineering has bestowed his wisdom upon us, we can conclude that Hogweed has the following options:
1. Have front-wheel alignment done (checking followed by any required adjustment)
2. Have 4-wheel alignment done (checking followed by any required adjustment)
3. Drive past Newcastle (the A1 should be close enough) and allow telepathy to perform the alignment check
4. Buy a roll of Poundland string and have fun.
Simon (smug old duffer), it appears that your and my thinking on this matter is somewhat outdated. Telepathy and string are the way forward.
Unfortunately, this does probably mean the rapid demise of a reputable engineering firm known as Hunter.
p.s. I was under the car with a roll of yellow string this morning. Unfortunately, I tied myself up in knots.
