1°10 for the front camber.
Half that for the Toe, so 0°05.

Rear will be where ever it fall re camber and Toe, but the Thrust angle must be ZERO.

Results partly depend on what you are starting with ;)

Also, I don't think that 40 grit is wet and dry :D

Don't worry Dave, drugs have never held any appeal ;)

Nice project, but a couple of notes...

On that model, they usually have ABC suspension, think Citroen SM. On speed. With a computer.

On that car specifically, the red display in the cluster is not good. Could simply be down to a 'dangle berries'ed battery, but the picture isn't clear enough to guess.

Also no MoT, but the ad is honest enough ;)

Otherwise, what could possibly go wrong :D

Im aware, and slightly scared about the ABC issues, although I believe that has its own dedicated " ABC fault, drive carefully" light.
I have even begun preparing for it on the off chance I end up buying one.

Circa 360bhp would be fun though for that sort of money. If all else fails, bin the ABC and bung a set of coilovers on it.
That's a handy link :y

Also, occasionally, the dealer books crop up on ebay, not cheap, usually £100+, the Introduction to Service ones give alot of useful things like specs and system overviews, but the system specific ones are about as thick.
It's the leaks and component cost that put me off ABC, a valve body is £1,800, there's at least two.

Mine had/has (it's intermittent) an Airmatic fault. Turns out to be a sensor. Mounted in the engine bay and held in with two bolts... I will deal with it in due course.

The airmatic system can be replaced for about £1,200 as a worst case... 19 bolts, 12? air lines and four grub screws, so a solid day's work.

All that said the Coupe is a good looking car in the right colour... Looks stunning in a black cherry metallic, but like the Omega, you can generally get them in any colour you like, as long as it is Silver :D

Don't underestimate the fuel pressure, any leak or wrong duration will add far more fuel that the ecu has accounted for.

maybe we just need a hug   :(
That's the difference between the ignorance of the first clip  and a deliberate act of inciting public disorder.

The woman needs educating, that bloke needs shooting as a complete affront to everything that people have achieved recently, Colonel Tom, to name but one.  >:(

The smoke on start up suggests an injector leak, so option 4 whilst you are waiting for the refurbished one ;)
