Hi glad to help,
the rear toe I the most important I think as it can steer the car and make it feel very twitchy going round corners and roundabouts ,
when the front is out you have more control because you are steering,

on the printout you see the steer ahead and trust angle, they want to be as close to 0, and they are or the car can steer its self,
I bet you are now happy driving the car now , it is not driving you,
Dave

Definitely, Dave. I am looking forward to giving it a bit of TLC now with a good clean and polish and tidy up the leather interior.

just got that Anti-skid service **** to deal with. Getting Vida Dice set up as we speak so hopefully that will tell me what is wrong there!

Yes vida is good the more you use it the more you get use to it,
now the weather is getting better I am planning on doing a lot more to my car,
mine is a 2002 d5 with 83,000miles, I have just done this weekend, new fuel
and oil filter, and engine and gear box oil change,
last month I fitted new koni adjustable rear shocks that I got of ebay for £70 new old stock, price is around £240 for the pair normally, so a very good deal,
the only thing is to adjust them you have to remove them, i have eibach springs all round so I adjusted the shocks to how koni say on they site, and they seem just right, I have a pair of front koni adjustable shocks coming that I ordered today, these are top adjustable so just lift the bonnet and turn,
these are not as easy to fit as they are inserts, so they fit in the original strut housing, so you have to do some cutting and drilling,
I have also fitted top and under body braces to the rear of the car,
and a front strut brace, I still need to fit the front under body brace, I hope to do that very soon as I do have it , I just need to paint it with some hammarite so it does not rust, I have just been to lazy to do it, I hope to do it before it gets to hot,,
