Easy to do at home.
Just lengthen the drag link if the wheel is left of centre, or shorten if right of centre.
Any ideas where to go? My steering wheel is slightly left of centre, when driving straight.
Or are these easy enough to do at home?
Thanks

1.) It depends on whether the car is tracking straight and the steering wheel is not centred or 2.) If the car is not tracking straight and you are correcting it to stop it from driving off the road.
Because if it is 1.) you can easily adjust it. If it is 2.) than perhaps you shouldn't attempt it as that will only change the steering wheel not the alignment of the wheels.
Just take your Disco to any place that does wheel alignment and they'll sort it out. It's worth letting the professionals do this sort of thing as if there is another issue they'll be able to sort that too.
I got mine done at Beaurepairs (or it might have been Bridgestone Service Centre) last time I needed it doing. Took 20 minutes and I was off on my way.

Sometimes NOT easy to do at home!
if the threads are rusted badly due to long term fitment, you may find them very hard to turn.
Otherwise, as said, the adjustment is easy to do at home.
Helps if you have someone to guide you where the wheel centres as you'd be under the car doing the adjustment.
First things first tho, is to make sure your lock to lock amounts are equal.
So check the number of steering turns lock to lock first.
