Anyone recommend where to go for wheel alignment in striking distance of Portsmouth/Southampton? Preferably someone familiar with TVRs. Thanks in advance.

IIRC, there is a chap in the Millbrook area (Soton) who gets good reports from the TVRCC members. Very diligent and has done several of the RV8 cars.

Not personal recommendations, just threads that I recalled from the South Coast Forum:

The Wheel Alignment Centre weren't able to do mine, couldn't get he rear adjusters undone. Couldn't do my brothers VX220 adjustment either as he couldn't get a bolt undone. I managed to undo them myself. Plus both our steering wheels weren't straight once he'd done it.

I now use a specialist, I'd go to Topcats Racing or Neil Garner personally.

It's a bit of a slog but a trip to Neil garners is well worth it, they did mine and it transformed the car and was interesting to watch over the few hours it took.

Andy at APM is up the A3 just outside of Liphook, a TVR guru and someone that still does it the old fashioned way of measuring it rather than relying on a computer to tell him what it is....

Funnily enough He has just checked mine during routine service and said it was fine if a little conservative with the camber at the rear, I've left it though, as whilst it might not be a track monster it allows me to get the power down. Everything is a compromise....
