Rather an odd one this. I keep in phone touch with an engineer in Australia who, at 84 yrs doesn't use this forum.
He has two owners in the Australian Rover Club with P6's that have a very poor turning circle in one direction only. Both are power steering V8's so don't have a huge amount of adjustments possible to be wrong. One is evidently so bad as to preclude turning the car in a normal road and to need the owner to seek out a T junction to do his three point turn in!
The cars drive OK otherwise which would appear to rule out accident damage to the suspension pick ups. Investigations are just underway in earnest on the first car, with the only discrepency found to date being a steering box with 3.3 turns lock to lock instead of the book 3.5 . The box is now about to have its innards inspected for any other problems.
Anyone heard of anything like this before?
