Recently had a new set of S02's fitted to my Scoob.
Ever since I have noticed a slight shake through the steering wheel, pedals, and chassis. It is most noticeable at motorway speeds.
I get this shake even when coasting out of gear, so it is not the transmition.
On the Alignment report the primary camber angles are stated as Left -0.92 and Right -0.77 (in-spec is -0.50 to +0.50).
Not sure if this is relevant.
Also, does anyone know what the Track Width Diff and Wheel Base Diff figure's (stated in mm's) on the report are (under Secondary Angles)?

Any other suggestions as to my shakey problem????

Test drove a nearly new P1 a few days ago, and that felt much better.

Apologies for the content and wording of this post!!

P.S, Car is a std. '96 UK Turbo with about 40k.

Vibration through the steering wheel at certain speeds is usually caused by the wheels (front most often) being incorrectly balanced, although a warped wheel can cause similar features. The fact that the problem only started after you got new tyres would suggest poor balancing. I had to take my car back twice to get the balancing right after I got new tyres. Go back to the tyre fitter and complain.

DJB is dead right. Gotta be tyre balance if nothing else was changed. Even if they got the balance right (not guaranteed!) it's quite possible that a weight has fallen off.

It's even possible that a tyre has turned on the rim, perhaps under heavy braking, when there's still wet lubricant on the beads. I had that happen on a motorbike and it ripped the valve out of the tube
