I tried HR Owen who, after they'd glared down their nose at me no doubt checking whether I was wearing the right old school tie, announed that they would only "deem" to take mine in after a full diagnostic scan costing £127 plus VAT! What a bunch of snobs My Hunter effort is as above in thread. Does run much better now than before, even though its rear end isn't complete. What a faff around for such a prestige production car!
There's also SuperCar Italia next to Biggin Hill airport who quoted me £200 +VAT. I don't know whether they stock the shims or not. Yes, others claiming to be Italian supercar specialists just sighed into the middle distance when I asked...
Chichester or Soton's a bit of a run out for me. Luckily was at Southampton as a student (in the 60s ;-) so wouldn't lose a day.
CatmanV2's recommendation Wheels in Motion are Chesham. They seem to have other names -- Blackboots and Chesham Tyres. There's also an address listed in Tonbridge. But dunno if that's uptodate
thanks for the recommendation; MK is not to out of the way, could combine in it with a visit to my parents.WIM (and all other names by which they may be known) are excellent.

I finally got around to adjusting the rear toe alignment. As I stated previously I recently adjusted the camber, which resulted in a bit of toe-in. In dry conditions I did not have any issues, but yesterday we had rain and as I was driving on the highway the rear end was fish-tailing slightly depending on which tire had the most grip - it was very alarming - not safe. So as soon as I got home, I adjusted the toe to be "0". I was not able to rotate the rod-link for some reason, so I had to actually disconnect the inner rod end from the frame of the car and adjust the inner eye, and reconnect everything. It was a pain but the job is done.
The what?!
