I had the camber done at Nigel Langs a couple of months ago. If you mention OOF when you book,
you'll get a discount. I paid £90.00.

A word of warning, I took mine to Langs who had to replace the wishbones before doing the alignment and the bill came to £299 all and they weren't Lemforders by any means. Would have been far cheaper to have sourced and fitted my own wishies prior to going.

Car was superb afterwards to be fair but £200 to supply and fit wishies stung a bit

if they are anything like the Protyre in Slough, avoid.

I was indeed,got new tyres and track rods fitted and then took it up there for alignment, thought the wishies were ok until he did the slam on the brakes and the car keeps moving forward demonstration  :o proper fooked they were.
