I'm heading back to Scotland from Redditch at Easter to visit the family for 2 weeks and am thinking of taking the Griff for an extended workout, it could do with blowing out the cobwebs!

Whilst there I'd like to have the cars 4 wheel alignment done but would like a personal recommendation for a job done well by professionals.

I'll be staying in Fife and am willing to travel. Initial suggestions made to me were CLCM in Edinburgh or Star Performance near Kirkcaldy, any good, any others?

My main concern is whether suppliers of this service have the necessary knowledge of TVR geometry settings

I'll be looking to attend the Central Scotland regional meet while there, so any advice from TVR owners north of the border would be most appreciated!

Hi Allandwf,

Well I never!

Ladybank tyres is only 2 miles from where I'll be staying staying and I've used them before for tyres though never for alignment.

Have you used them for your Cerbera (saw the pic on your profile)or any other car or do you know anyone else whose had a good experience?

Thanks!

As an offical TVR dealer we check every car we service as its part of the schedule. Many cars have siezed rear arm adjusters due to not being looked at during their service.

Thanks for the suggestions.

My wishbones are nearly new so no issue with corrosion. Also the reason for alignement is I plan to fit new coilovers hence the need to check alignment post fitting

Hi, Used to use them when I had the Alfa 3.0 GTV. Never used them for the Cerb as I've just recently got it, still learning how to drive it !
I used to stay Pitlessie which is a mile or so away.

By any chance was your GTV dark blue and you had it worked on by Allan Bennie in Falkland?
