I'm going to need to replace all 4 tyres due to uneven tyre wear and I think I'll then need to get a 4 /all wheel alignment done.
I've heard that the dealer price is £200+ but that the suspension needs to be put into alignment mode.
Will an independant tyre specialist be able to set the alignment mode and do the alignment or am I stuck with using a dealer?
If I can go to a specialist are there any recommended ones in Essex / Suffolk / North East London?

Dont think this will help you much. But am taking mine to my mates garage next week he has the computer to put it the right mode. My local dealer has had it twice and it doesnt steer straight. They charged me £220. It will cost about £60-80 at my mates. ill let you know how I get on.

Harwoods in Edenbridge were doing the full 4-wheel 3D alignment at £99 inc VAT recently. More of a south of london franchise but your local may price match.

Come down to Greece, you can do 4 wheel alignment for around 50euro and look around the Acropolis museum for 1!
Well, plus trip expences...
