Thank you very much to all who have replied.
I have measured and the height to the wheel arches is 630 / 585 mm and 620 / 570 mm front to rear. (Discrepancy side to side may be due to the ground not being perfectly level or limitations of measuring accuracy...) That means the front is sitting two inches higher than the back in old school measurements. I didn't think to measure before, but it fits with my gut feel that the front is now two inches higher than it was.
The front control arms do not sit level. There is evidence of significant 'lift', whereas from memory they were level before.
I'm still in discussion/negotiation with the mechanic who did the work and will let you know the outcome in due course.
I forgot to mention: It doesn't grip in the corners nearly as well as it did - but I guess that is to be expected.
regards,
Scott
