THAT MADE ME chuckle, the correct alignment for this vehicle IS 1~7 mm Toe IN. And that is Straight from the straight horses mouth.

I have an '05 2.0L Petrol.
I haven't had it long, but I suspect tracking may be slightly off as the wheel vibrates slightly at around 60mph and it pulls to the left (though the side conversion probably doesn't help).
I am also getting quite poor mpg at the moment, so trying to check all things out that can help.
Re: Front wheel alingment settings
Steering vibration will be wheel balance and tracking would not cause any pull unless it was miles out.
Make sure tyre pressures are equal and they are the same size per axle if all good then swop the fronts round as tyre bias is normally the cause of slight pulls especially if they are different makes.
If that fails the maybe drop it into your friendly local garage and get them to check it over.

Re: Front wheel alingment settings
Ah, that's helpful. Thanks
Re: Front wheel alingment settings
It might also be worthwhile checking that the steering rack is secure.
Fav wheel balance or dodgy tyre.
Good Luck
