so on this, I found an engine shop in Brighouse which sells those for a decent price (well about £225 which seems cheaper than most) so I'm just going to buy one, waiting for them to arrive from the states. So far I've been there and bought a set of toe plates from them which I used the other day to set the tracking.
Toe plates are great, much easier to use (for me) than a laser alignment tracking gauge, I also got a set of dished turn plates so I can adjust without jacking the car up. It seems to work very well.
Going to pick up the camber/castor gauge this week although I'm sure that will take me longer to learn to use.
