In theory, there should be no difference, but IIRC from previous discussions, there is a specific setup required for the D3 to cater for the multiple heights....? TDV6 HSE Black, Black Wheels /MTR's(in the shed!), Black RRS front/rear LR badge (tbf) Black Leather, Black Glass, Black TowB, Shiny Tasmods, Dull Mantec, White (& Orange) Reflective D3 Sticker, Black steering wheel badge, black air intake. Optima & Traxide dual battery setup.
Need black RRS wheel centre caps.
Now with added Engel.....
We D3, therefore we are..........

Thanks fellas 
" four wheel alignment " - I need to check that my dealer has been carrying this out as I've had it carried out with them a few times .They dont have a laser setup them selves and instead move them onto the independent tyre guys next door.I'll see if they set it up prior to doing the alignment i.e alignment mode.
Thanks again Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent

Tracking only adjusts toe
4 Wheel alignment adjusts castor, camber and toe

Tell the dealer to have a look at LA204-009V2. Geometry setting mode.

Thanks very much Steve , I'll have alook on GTR
Quote:Toe Description
The most critical alignment angle is total toe on the steering axle. Excessive positive or negative toe will cause scuffing and shoulder wear on the tyres. Total toe is defined as the difference in distance measured across the front of the tyres and the distance measured across the rear of the tyres. Toe is measured in inches or millimeters. Total toe may also be defined as an angular measurement and displayed in degrees or degrees and minutes. Toe is positive, also known as toe-in, when the front of the tyres are closer together than the rear of the tyres. Toe is negative, also known as toe-out, when the rear of the tyres are closer together than the front of the tyres. Zero toe occurs when the wheels are parallel.
Camber Description
The proper camber settings on a vehicle will improve road isolation and directional stability. Incorrect camber angles can cause tyre wear and handling problems. Camber is defined as the inward or outward tilt of the wheel at the top as viewed from the front. Camber is measured in degrees. A wheel with zero degrees camber is vertical. A wheel that tilts outward at the top has positive camber. A wheel that tilts inward at the top has negative camber.
Caster Description
The primary functions of caster are to improve directional stability and returnability. Incorrect caster angles can cause excessive steering effort and tyre wear. Caster is defined as the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis as compared to a vertical line and viewed from the side. Caster is measured in degrees. Caster is positive when the top of the steering axis is tilted rearward. Caster is negative when the top of the steering axis is tilted forward.

It really SHOULD be put into the geometery setting mode, but it can be done without doing so

Only got it done as the rear tyres were in bad nick.The Skewing prob on the other thread isn't attributable to the alignment , but I stand to be corrected.Ill see about that one on Tuesday. Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent
