Pete I would think it would have a Perkins Eagle which is basically the old Rolls Royce Eagle diesel.

I took it to have it steam cleaned - turning circle of the QE2 
as I found out coming out of our gate.

Is the turning circle measured in shunts then?
I hope your depot has n't invested in it, it'd be a worrying advert for the brand?!

Steve it would have a poor turning circle being a six wheel drive animal, that is one of the disadvantages of drive wheels on the steering axle.

I knew it wouldn't be good Jeremy
Just didn't appreciate how bad though - Kept as far right as possible to turn left out of our gate and still found myself heading towards the Bathstore shop opposite
