If you click the BACK button on the linked page, there's a list of WIM approved places. One towards the bottom in Newcastle Under Lyme :y

"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...? :(

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 :(
