Turning Circle

Post by mrhooper » Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:57 pm

After being Roverless for the past few years I've decided that this year I'm going to get a P2 again. But before I do I wanted to check out the turning circle, the reason being the access to my garage is fairly tight and needs a little bit of manoevering ( is that how you spell it?). But I haven't been able to find any information on turning circles. Can anyone advise?

Thanks

It is a rather large turning circle compared to modern cars and you may finf if the steering is not setup correctly it much larger or unequal from side to side :oops:

Yes, I seemed to remember the turning circle was a bit wider than newer cars. And I had exactly that problem of unequal steering on my last P2 until I figured out what was going on. Thanks

Martin.

NB - If anyone is aware of a nice Sports saloon for sale I'd appreciate it if you would let me know.
