My rear tyres seem to be wearing on the out side of the tyre really quick, and they are toeing in i believe, but how on earth do i sort out the back wheels??

standard mini's run positive camber on the back

some negative camber and tracking brackets might help

As std mini's dont have adjustable suspension at the rear, putting a mini on a four wheel alingment device is only going to tell you how far it's out... not that you'll be able to do anything about it..

Also if it's WAY out, It maybe your raduis arms are knackered or the subframes bent...
