Big thanks to the chaps and lasses at TSL for attending to this for me, especially Glenn and the Lady who made me a brew 
If you are wondering what all the fuss is about, regarding this geometry malarchy, go get it done.
My car has only covered 12,000 miles and it felt like a new beast when it came off the Laser alignment thingy
Therefore all cars should benefit from getting it done.
My MY00 corners like a banshee (!) now and all vagueness in the straight ahead position at speed has vanished
Cheers TSL yet again, you ROCK

Had the Prodrive settings done at Elite in Rainham (Essex) a while ago along with all wheels re-balanced for around £84.
If you get it done, allow for the tyres to re-scrub to the new alignments before making too many comparisons. The understeer has reduced (although it didn`t U`steer much on 17`s and Toyo`s anyway) to the point where I found myself "over-steering" slighty on a quick stint on a twisty road (chasing a Maserati on the way to Goodwood F of S )
I recieved a read-out of the original settings along side the new, final figures, worth asking for this if you get it done.
