    When I drove a GU coil wagon I was quite shocked at how much better the turning circle on it was compared to my leafy GU ute.

    Yeah that's what I thought maybe the limiting bolts on the swivel housings are undone. They have a habit of coming lose or falling out.

    Still has a better turning circle than a TP Magna.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    I think turning circle and fuel economy don't exactly have much meaning to most 4X4 owners .

    No kidding!

    I on the other hand, do enjoy the fuel economy when I can get it for less.
    That 'cos I enjoy long treks where no one has gone before!!!
