There’s not a lot of room to manoeuvre once you’re in there! There’s plenty of signage on both sides of the arch clearly giving me priority. The police are very clear that I’m not at fault for the accident.Van didnt fair well did it!
By look of it im guessing they were to blame too.
Gets tight through there!!
That's what I would have thought. It cornered fine and cruised ok, it was just very slow from initial getaway. It's only done about 3k miles in the last 4 years.If it’s a 24v they can be tweaked very easily for more get up and go. By all accounts many came off the production line with very conservative pump settings due to emissions targets.
I wouldn’t have thought a seized VC would limit acceleration in a straight line but it would be noticeable while cornering with transmission wind-up and tyre chirp, like driving with the CD locked.
A quick update. I got a new 80 a few weeks ago. Thank you to all those that helped me out!

Now I just need to sort out the issues on this one that I had already sorted on my last one!
