My wife has just purchased a 2001 Softback. She is complaining that when she turns sharp corners there is a judder. I have driven the little car and when on 75% or greater in either lock it feels like the brakes come on and at slow speeds it STOPS mid turn.
Any ideas? Before I have to spend my money to fix her car!!:doh:

If it's as bad as you say then I would get the VCU checked immediately before it damages the IRD, VCU isn't cheap but it's only half the cost of an IRD

Sounds like classic VCU siezure. Take off the prop shafts and drive it mondo if you cant fix it immediately.

Does this make a noticable difference to the handling of the vehicle?

Thinking of doing this myself as I don't 'off road'.
