amazed Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Many years ago I had an alignment done by Tony on my MX5, and I was amazed at the difference it made. Now, however, I'm behind the wheel of a 2013 Volvo V40 1.6 D2, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the journey to WIM from Sussex, as I've been told that it's very limited adjustment available on this car. I recently purchased the Volvo which has done over 130,000 miles, the steering wheel is just off centre when wheels are pointing straight and the tyres are mismatched, so I'm looking to replace them, possibly for something like Michelin Cross Climate+ (or open to other suggestions). Thoughts and advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hello and welcome... The chassis is reasonably adjustable and the OEM datum is very good ( for once )...Many manufactures in the real world get it wrong. The trip from Sussex is a mighty commitment but protecting your investment ( the tyres ) is worth it I think. As for tyres....They are a very personal thing but the Cross Climate+ has a really good pedigree right through the marques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazed Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Many thanks, Tony. Will definitely get it booked in (once funds allow). Will be great to see you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Indeed it's been a while.... Rest assured the V40 won't cost as much to calibrate as the 5 since we only charge for what we adjust rather than the dealers who charge full price no matter what the complaint.

amazed Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks. Seeking advice on V40 forums regarding tyres. Will be back in touch. Any idea on cost of adjustments, and are you open at weekends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 If we need to adjust everything which i very much doubt the fee would be £95+ vat but i think your car will be in the £60+ vat bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
