My 2002 +8 was heavy, not helped by my need to fit a 13" steering wheel to get my legs and girth in! Once I changed the king pin bushes from Devol to Phosphor Bronze and also a Mulfab roller bearing kit the steering was light and a joy to drive, very fast action and once above parking speed was light and gave great feedback. Not as light as the current car (2008 +4)but close.
