Having just returned from a week long road trip on some of Scotland's most scenic and fun driving roads I feel like my biceps have had a work out!
I have a 2006, Plus 4 (2.0 Duratec) so sufficient horsepower in standard guise for some fun, spirited driving. However on the twisty roads I feel the car is slow to turn in and heavy , even at speed, on anything close to a tight bend. I guess I'd describe it as not feeling agile, which is surprising for such a light car.
I notice similar on roundabouts or low speed corners when I feel like I am applying quite a bit of force to hold the car in a turn.
Never having owned a Morgan previously I'm not sure if this is normal, due to lack of power steering and older suspension design.
I checked my tyre pressures today and they were pretty close to 22 psi all round. I've just put the fronts up to 25 psi and will give that a try to see if it eases the effort needed when cornering.
The tyres are fairly recent so I wouldn't expect them to be causing the issue. (Falken Sincera SN110). Road holding is good with no tendency to under or over steer.
Could some adjustment to the tracking improve the set up? (There is no obvious tyre wear suggesting the tracking is not correct).
Your thoughts and any advice on how to make the car feel a bit more agile and quicker around the bends would be greatly appreciated.
