Can anyone recommend a clued up place for getting a full alignment done on my 182? Ideally in Reading. Cheers!

I used Elite for this in the end, great service received too. Also cheaper than the quoted price (only £39 for my 182) as it didn't take as long as they thought. Definitely recommended.

£39? That sounds very cheap! What was adjusted and what is possible to adjust on a 182?
On an MX5 there is front camber, caster & toe and the rear has camber & toe so it's usually £100 or more if all angles need adjusting.

There isn't as much adjustment on a standard 182 so that's probably why. Once I've got this weekends track day done I intend to fit some adjustable top mounts so will update on the cost to get those done.

Give them a call?

I always take mine to Wheels-in-Motion in Chesham. It's a bit of a trek for me but they are well worth the trip and they also sponsor our track car wink

Wow, just browsing their site, very comprehensive! Think I'll go for something like that once I have more adjustment available.

Another vote for wheels in motion. They're also very competitive on tyre prices, and the only place I've used that can balance 19" wheels properly.
