Years ago when I had my old defender I had the steering stops adjusted to improve the steering lock and reduce the turning circle. Does anyone know if this can be done with the Grenadier?

I did the same with my 110. Is the turning circle worse, same or better on the Grenadier?

Yes in a word, there's a similar arrangement on the front axle ~ I have photos I can post later. 👍

Not sure - it's not an issue for me, so I'll let someone else jump in and investigate that if you don't mind.

Does anyone know the turning radius at full lock? Maybe something like 20 feet?

Without looking at the Ineos stats, I think you can double that 20ft to 42ft

I don't think that there are any cars, including small hatchbacks, on the market that have a turning circle as small as 20ft.

London Taxi is a good option if you need a really tight turning circle.

Sorry, I didn't read the question correctly. Turning circle vs turning radius.
Turning circle is used in UK

It's interesting that Rivian have gone back on their tank turn, stating it's not compatible with their ethos/environmental principles of treading lightly.
