    Guarantee the dealers have not ever heard of that let alone tyre shops.

    In reality a tyre shop is never going to have a LR tool capable of these settings as they cover every car brand to be viable. It’s like believing they torque the LCA bolts to LR spec also.

    At my local Jax store, I had a wheel alignment done on my D2.
    I asked to look at the specs which were in the computer controlling the wheel aligner.
    They showed toe IN and they were insisting that was correct.
    I dug out the specs form RAVE and of course they should be toe OUT.
    They eventually did it to my specs with all the caveats of this is your worry etc.
    75KK later the BFGKOs still have minimum 6MM with a couple at 9 with very little shoulder wear.
    I wonder how many D2s with bad shoulder wear have the fronts with toe IN.

    Regards PhilipA

    Welcome to Darwin

    I have also had Bridgestone Winnellie do the alignment on my 2010 RRS...they were the recommended aligners even by the (now defunct) Land Rover dealer in Darwin.
    and yes they were recommended by the only LR indie in the Top End.
    and I have had no problems in 15k. Although I have had good customer service from them.
    So even when there was a dealer they could not do it in house. and now with no registered dealer in the Top End when I spoke to LR Australia they even admit they do not know what to do! Welcome to LR ownership in Darwin. Nearest dealers are Cairns or Perth.
    Luck there is a good indie and I have trained my mechanic.

    We had our D4 serviced there last year when we were in Darwin, after going across the Savannah Way. Really nice guy, lots of knowledge and a good communicator. Charged $330 labour (approx 2 hours) for a full service and check up, plus parts.
    cheers

    Welcome to Darwin

    Yes that's him, the local LR Indie.
    My usual mechanic is Danny Probert at Darwin Auto Mobile Car Bishop Street, not a LR expert but a couple of us have been training him and he is good mates with Leigh and they share information all the time on LR issues.... its Darwin after all. Danny races cars, in particular a drift XD Falcon, and is a brilliant mechanic and machinist.
