Alignment options
Does everyone on the forum take their 7series to the dealership for alignment or do they seek services elsewhere. All I've been hearing is that the cameras/lane departures system needs to be calibrated as well. That's why the dealer is recommended since local shop's don't have the 55k machine to align this car.

In the UK most use a 4 wheel Hunter machine, which both dealers and tyre shops have. Only thing to consider, and I got caught out with this on my first XJ, is that some cars need the suspension loading before alignment - tyre shop didn’t do it with the Jag, and it ruined the ride, so ended up back at Jag dealer anyway - was a very expensive exercise overall!

Lucky who do you use in Dublin to do yours? I find many are hit and miss. I usually bring mine to a tyre shop in Cork if I’m down that way. Thanks.
