It's for a 2009 VW Scirocco.

I've tried 2 places locally.

The first didn't know how to adjust the rear at all.

The second one didn't align the steering wheel correctly. When I returned the following day they put it on the same machine and the "before" values were completely different to the "after" measurements taken the previous day. They still didn't set the steering wheel straight.

Finding someone with an accurate alignment machine and more importantly the ability to understand and operate it correctly is proving a challenge.

I'm in Maidstone (Kent) but I'd be prepared to travel.

All suggestions much appreciated.

As is usual with these things, the operator is the issue, which you have just illustrated perfectly.

The gold standard is Center Gravity, but they are a long haul from Maidstone. There must surely be someone else locally... I've always imagined the Hunter rigs to be designed to minimise the chance of operator error. Maybe call NineExcellence nr Gatwick and see if they have a recommendation as they do a lot of suspension mods. I know they specialise in Porsche, but they're only cars at the end of the day.

Thanks Robert - I'm away for a few days but I'll give them a call on my return.
