A while back I took my 80 in to get the tracking done and the local
tyre shop charged me ?45 to hook it up to their computerised system to
tell me it was out, however because the tie rod ends were a little too
stiff for them they couldn't adjust it without replacing the tie rod
ends and then testing again!
Anyway, looking through the LCool site I found a very handy guide to
checking and changing the alignment yourself - see

It is actually a lot easier to do with the front tyres just off the
ground and using a spirit level to make sure that the measurements are
taken roughly 180 degrees to each other.
OK, it might not be as accurate as the computerised system, but
certainly good enough and it means that you can spend time loosening up
the tie rod ends in your own time.
