Title: Nightmare
Post by: miggy on 08 October 2007, 22:45:43

I have been to several places today to try and get the 4 wheel alignment done on the V6, no luck, everyone i have tried said their equipment cannot do 18" wheels.

Tried ATS, KWIK CRAP, EUROTYRES and a couple of small tyre places.

Last resort will be Vx tomorrow, dont want to do that due to my local dealer being a load of rubbish.

I had mine done using some kit called optiline - done by imperial tyres swindon .. did a really good job IMHO.

Perhaps you can find someone with optiline kit in your area ??

not sure of the garage mikedundee used but as you can see, its on his 18s

the guy at my local garage was using the same equipment on my 17s so it just might be that they dont have the computer software

i'm ringing my garage tomorrow to see if they can fit me in cos he couldnt get my adjusters undone on my back wheels! i was on my way to a different garage when i saw the sign saying this garage does it all, i never knew it was even there!

so it might be worth while checking these little known tyre places in your area before the big names!

Remember, 4 wheel alignment is not the same as a proper Full Geometry.  Unless its had a full geometry recently, I would suggest 4 wheel alignment is a waste of money.
