Defender turning circle

Is it just my 110 that makes me have to reverse when going 360 round mini roundabouts?

I've got a 90 and I need to do that too lol really should adjust my stop locks but I doubt it'll help much

haha me too, i tried adjusting the stops.. they must have been done before, didn't make a difference

6 point turns in the road ahoy

I used to hand break turn in my 109 ambulance till I snapped a half shaft!

Wish I could find a photo of it... Had 20 years ago when I was making a film in Liverpool... Filmed a lot on Formby Beach until I drove over a patch with goo underneath... She was still turning over with water around my waist... In the end watcher being dragged under with police, big red cross on top. I used to keep my film kit in it and it was never broken into... Only damage was when I parked it outside Irish Centre on a Saturday night, it was in full camouflage. Tried to smash the windows with a boulder but they must have been armoured as just a crack.

I tend to mount the curb a bit after going very wide.

So if you drive a Tratter you look like this??

No wonder your turning circles crap...

Of course thats the only way to leave the house if your not naked!

Mine has the turning circle of the QE2!

get some wheel spacers or some deep offset rims. Tis the only way you will improve the turning circle if you have no more left on the stops.

More offset is the answer but not as kind on the wheel bearings

that's weird mine has a great turning circle and im often impressed with it!

maybe im just comparing it to the buses I drive or my crap Honda civic turning circle which is a absolute joke for a modern small car

Mines great, loads better than the ****roen berlingo i use for work.

the 90 here turns on a sixpence...

i wonder if different steering boxes make a difference, or badly adjusted track rods

Would the toe affect the turning circle to a noticeable extent?
