The tank does not have to be full for the alignment to be correctly adjusted. It is, however, easier to do if it is.

No problem.

What you should also be aware of is that not all Land Rover dealers have the equipment to undertake the four-wheel alignment procedure. That said, once you've had it done properly once, if it is needed at all, you don't need to have it done again.

Three times you've said you have had the alignment done......is that right?

Peachy in patches, which for a largely natural coloured covered area of floor covering is not ideal.......

AS far as Ive been told it was like this.

uneven tyre wear problem....4 wheel align...arrange for new tyres

return for new tyres.... do 4 wheel alignment (just be sure)

suddenly got vibration at speeds...checkd balancing ok so did 4 wheel alignment

then found out their wheelbalancer was shagged..... got it repaired... rebalance wheels......still got vibration problem just less at the 60mph mark.

all above took from 24k to 34k miles

Makes sense only to have one expensive bit of kit to share between their 3 franchises I suppose.
