Tin-Top: Astra H wheel alignment ??
Anyone got the front wheel alingment settings for a 55 plate astra estate, 1.7D if that makes any odds
the haynes book says take it to a specialist and I don't have access to an autodata thats upto date enough for it 
cheers

From Autodata
Toe in 0mm plus or minus 1.18mm (0 degrees plus or minus 10mins)
Camber 0.5dergress Negative plus or miuns 0.75degree
Castor 3.5 degrees plus or minus 1degree
Setting should be carried out with 70 kg of weight on each of the driver and passenger seats/floors.

I think it's not so much the settings rather the actual adjusting and the fact that when the average berk looks at "plus or minus a tenth
of a degree" well I'm holding no confidence in "that looks right"

^^ you mean a 6th of a degree 
I know what you mean with some cars but +/- 1.18mm is actually a bigger tolerance than my focus and its listed in its book
(on the other hand my mums 206SW has a tolerance of +/- 0.25mm  )

Really all pretty rich when you consider the amount of bump steer on the average fwd car front end.
