    Puma turning circle?

    Doest he Puma have as bad a turning circle as the previous defender?

    I assume the changes are the engine and interior and that's it?

    cheers

    You can fiddle a bit with the steering stops to reduce the turning circle. But be careful, if you reduce it too much, you may get some rubbing of the front tyres during max articulation offroad.

    IIRC, the steering stop should be set when the edge of the tyres is 20mm from the radius arms.

    No, it is worse

    Winding the stops in helps but you can't go to far.

    My Tdi is almost a breeze in comparison.

    Hi, I rather like it, I get to treat small roundabouts with the contempt they deserve!

    Yep and there's almost bugger all you can do about it other than to buy a Disco 3 instead.
