Ross N,
spot on with the idle description. If you have the workshop manual for the cortina , usually they have wheel alignment data. You could get the KPI from that. You can then work out your installed KPI i.e. say cortina KPI is 7.5º with a static camber of + 0.5º and your camber setting is -3º your KPI is 7.5-0.5+3=10

Jim C has mentioned a figure of 6.5º but does not say if this is a corected figure or what it states in a manual. JIM ???

Russ N,
the mass transfer may be part of the problem

If you cant start the engine--thats what tow cars are for -
