Reminds me, just had two letters reminding me that the Estate and the 3.2 are due a checkup..... Only problem is that the DTi Elite needs to visit them sooner!

When's payday again????  ::) :D

They understand Geometry, which puts them above most other places, but also understand the defficiencies of the Vx settings once the car's suspension ages.

£95 + VAT at most of their franchises, £65+VAT (I think) at Chesham if you mention OOF.

charged me £60 + vat as an oofer; £6.50 + vat per wheel for balancing.   Like TB says.....they understand geometry of the Omega........ and Paul explained and shows you all the read outs/displays, why they are like it and then when they are corrected.  :y :y

Speaking of geo setups.. Has anyone got any experience of WIM working on a car with suspension where the camber adjustment is via adjustable slotted top mounts (aftermarket top mounts on an MR2 in this case)?

Just wondering if it's worth a drive up there in the other car :)

No direct experience of that set up, but they have all sorts parked outside in the proverbial queue, when I've been there, from drift cars to Aston Martins and Ferraris, to a Talbot sunbeam with everything modified, if it's adjustable, they can measure it and set to suit in relation to the complaint or what ever you want.

Go see em :y

Excellent.. Chesham isn't that far from me, so it sounds like a trip is in order :)

One of my mates has an Octavia vRS (much like mine), and took it there - he couldn't believe the difference.

I had my Omega set up there, many moons ago, and it made such a difference. Dunlop SP9000s all round, twas an MV6, and it was brilliant.
