I wouldn't mind travelling if someone knows a place who takes their time and does the job right!

Search via Google the hunter tracking system. Last time I looked, they listed tyre depots/garages who had it.

It was recommended to me via this forum a number of years ago, and my local tyre place had it installed the week I replaced all my tyres. The guys at the depot were only too happy to use the numbers I supplied if it wasnt on the system. Turned out it was on their system, which they used, and the results were spot on. (And the rears were adjusted the first time I used them, the second time a few years later, they only needed to do the fronts. The tyres were evenly across the tread over the nearly three years they were on).

Most admit in workshop where I work we have this machine hunter dsp600 and so far I don't have any issues with it I think even monkey can learn how to use and do 4w alignment. So point is if you see anywhere this go there, there will have all data for do the job.

Also, the correct mass of fuel could be relevant, I think it needs to be 3/4 full if I recall. Having it done with a ton of tools in the boot too, would cause an issue, so make sure it is empty.

The most recent MGR update says a 40Kg loading which equals a full tank. If the tank's empty, the weight should be placed in the boot, above the tank or as far back on the rear seat as possible. It must be unoccupied.

Just an update, finally took it back to the garage (not needed to drive the car for quite a while).

Anyway they’ve sorted and aligned it all. Car drives loads better. No more skittishness/bumping when driving over drain covers potholes. They checked the bushes/suspension and didn’t find any issues. Time will tell if it solves the extreme tyre wear I guess, I feel confident it will though.

Thanks for help all!
