I need to get my tracking sorted soon as possible, my car is worth less than a grand so I don't really want to spend more than £30.

Where is best to go? I live just outside the outer ring road on the east of Leeds. I went to champion tires the other day but they couldn't fit their equipment under the car as its too low, so need somewhere with ramps!

I posted this: GPS Car Tracker with GPRS and Vehicle Theft Protection System ....on my FB page it's on amazon uk it's £36 + you'll need a pay as you go SIM card . It's the cheapest I've seen and a friend who has a business fitting tracking systems commercially said its cracking value and works

I shouldn't have rushed my title, I meant wheel alignment as apposed to tracker :/

Finally found that Alba tires on Geldered road had equipment that could be mounted after being turned away from another garage!

Station Garage in Castleford.. They've the proper Hunter machine.

Speak to them and ask what they can do.. IIRC it's £45 plus VAT but if your car doesn't have much to adjust (just the front toe) - like one of mine they may do it substantially cheaper for you, they did for me.

They also did my old Saab where pretty much everything possible was adjustable and it was perfect.

Drop it off, walk to Xscape (round the corner) for some lunch then pick it up an hour or so later.

Cheers Phil, I'll go see them in the future, seems quite a reasonable price to say they have a hunter.

I thought so..

If there's naff all on your car to adjust then I reckon 25-30 is do-able.
