Defender turning circle

Why are you going 360 around a mini roundabout? your juts going straight on surely?!

Mine was k when I adjusted the stop locks, a lot better than the L200 I used a few years back, that was an absolute barge on turning circles!

My 110 has the turning circle of an ocean liner. I struggle to do a u turn on a small mini roundabout.

Its when I pick my daughter up from school, usually I don't have to but sometimes have to go back the way I came. Street is too narrow for a three point turn, sorry fifteen point Defender turn!

And now days I just swing it out like an articulated lorry at any small turn... Hehe

110s have the tuning circle of a locomotive, 130s the turning circle of jupiter. 90s are fine though

Ya I have to do that in me 90, then again the slipping steering pump belt cant help, soon to be done.

my 90 with non-PAS is fine, although having said that i avoid steering it as much as possible as its rather heavy lol

About to get an ‘08 Defender 110... keen to learn how to reduce the turning radius as much as possible. On my Disco I used to open the door and drag my foot on the runway.

When I bought my 90 I couldn't turn full lock because the wheels would rub against the inner arches. I didn't know they had the bolts to adjust the turning circle at the time so went ahead and put some spacers on. This stopped the rubbing which in turn meant I had a better turning circle. I've since put on deep dish wheels too so I could probably go ahead and reduce the turning circle even further. As it is, 360 around a mini roundabout wouldn't be a problem.
