Anyone know anywhere in the notts area that will do this? want to check if my chassis is twisted. Kwikfit gave me a load of excuses about special weights in footwells blah blah

Don't know if they do chassis stuff but as far as suspension geometry goes, go straight to Nottingham 4 Wheel Alignment in Bulwell. They did in 20 minutes what it took Kwikfit an hour to decide they couldn't actually do.

Beardymat on the zone is based in Sheffield - 40 min drive away - and he might be able to help. Gave me some good advice when my car got hit. And I can second Nottingham 4 Wheel Alignment - quick and efficient.

So are you guys both based in Nottingham? Ever been to Series 9 garage? Beginning to be a bit of a base for E30s. Owner's son likes them, and has owned a few, and lots of his friends have E30s. Every time I'm down there on a Saturday there's E30s turning up all over the place.

hi rik

got your pm buddy, what exactly do you want checking? what makes you think it wants checking? i can check the chassis is straight and the suspension mounting points are where they should be but i dont have any wheel alignment gear.

id also pull that front end across a little to make those bonnet gaps look a little better.

ok yeh just to make sure the car is straight really. and sorting the front out would be bang on mate. I can get the steering sorted somewhere else thats ok.

When would you be able to do it? and Ball park howmuch would it cost?
