Did the 4 wheel alignment make a big noticable difference? Since converting to 2ws mines handled like ota a piece of jelly :cry:

Sounds like you would benefit from having it done. There are a few places that have the full monte, fully computerised system and will set you back between £70 and £100 after adjustments have been made. Most of these places will quote excluding VAT as they mostly work for the trade, so be aware of that when you ring them up.

I just got mine done at the local ATS in Newark. It's laser alignment, but not computerised, so all adjustments are done by the eye, so to speak. The guy was good and he re-aligned the system 3 times before he was happy. I think he did it so many times because he liked the test drive in between :lol: Cost was £50 straight.

My mpg is shocking. Tyres were bum droppings anyway so the quicker they die the better :lol:
