Good news, Awesome GTI have offered to refund the money for the alignment, which will go towards the £90 that the VW dealers will cost me next week when I get them to have a look at it, hopefully they will be able to loosen the bolts without needing to break anything. Just can't understand why they should be seized up since I had full alignment a year ago  :confused:

Judging by the alignment figures from Awesome, the rear end hadn't been adjusted at the previous alignment.  I doubt you will have any luck getting the bolts freed up again unfortunately.

Do you have a print out of the alignment done before awesomes?

Sadly not, I asked if they had kept the data but they gave some excuse about needing to put in the customers info into the machine at the time which wasn't done.

I had the car for a week whilst I waited for the new centre console to be fitted (and running the right hand side WALK with just 2 out of the 3 bolts screwed in!). At this point it hadn't been aligned and the car actually felt pretty good, now after they did the alignment the car felt worse than before the WALK was put on at all!
