"Tracking" is pointless on an Omega ..it needs a PROPER full geometry setup - preferably by someone who actually knows what they are doing .. which rules out 90% of "garages" ...... :(

There's also a place in Loughborough that Marks DTM rates highly. Can't remember the name, so hopefully he'll see this and pipe up.

Perhaps we need to add these places to recommended suppliers. Might be too late for the op by now...? :(

I am off to Nigel Lang's Bolton in couple weeks for Geometry set up and strangely 4 new Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres too !!
I shall let know the outcome since they have been recommended on here, and chating to them they know what they are talking about :y

Nigel has been in the motor trade for a long time now. I remember him running as an independant BMW specialist in the 80s.

Well, they've adjusted the front tracking.
...and ignored everything else. What did you ask for? Full geo set up? Or just tracking? Because the rest of the setting are way out. Don't fit new tyres to that :(
-
...no, i ask them only for tracking, they don't do geo...so, I should start worry about my new tyres? :( I should do soon is possible full geo? But where... :(

Don't wait too long with settings like that. Keep an eye on catastrophic front inner shoulder wear...
