Folks, do we have a trusted geometry place in Essex or the environs? I could take it to the Zep area, but it's a bit far / out of the way.
Suggestions?
Cheers

Hmmm... when faced with that same question my choice was Grimaldi (£400) or a schlep over to Wheels in Motion in Chesham at about 1/3 that price and did an amazing job. Worth the drive, I'd say. You'll find the return journey to offer far more scope for 'spirited'.
How very dare you
Chris, Elite on the old A13 at Rainham will do a full geo setup and will talk you through how you want it and what settings you want if you prefer anything other than factory that is. £65 plus any adjustments http://www.elitedirect.com/ They did a super job on the 4200 for me, not been there with the GS yet but no doubt I will be before the summer road trips
I should say, Christian Lewis now have their own alignment rig in Bedford, which is about 20 miles less “out of the way”
I used Grimaldi for the 3200 Geometry, but mostly because the 3200 Geo is set by shims etc, not cheap, over £400 from memory.
Otherwise there are plenty of decent dependents whom should be able to do the Geo on a GT.
They’ll also balance your wheels properly. They do this by fixing the wheels to the hub using the same holes you use to bolt the wheel to the car. This gives a far more accurate real-world reading than when the wheel is just fixed to the machine using a bloody great wing not on the hole in the middle, which may itself be slightly off-centre.
ANd how much does this goodness cost, pray? Not that I should care. The car is all over the place at the moment. I know the tyre pressures are off, but I suspect some of the larger potholes of late have been unkind.
Cheers
