Andy b wants a girly button not knowing he already has one built in. Oh dear.   ;D  ;)

"Servo tronic speed sensitive power steering" I thought....? Adjusts the...  well, it does what it says, no ?

Mines actually set to next stiffest/middle of the 3 settings. Seems randomly but very mildly stiffer otherwise. Mostly while turning left into my road...  Odd. :-/

I've had servotronic assisted since before my Omega ........ don't forget that the Senator had it too  ;) ;). I just don't see the point inless assistance in a ton & 3 quarter car that does,t really corner.
Er, tend to agree to an extent.(O-Oh  ;D ) However initially there was a slight tendency to weave on motorways on mine on middle setting. Although that's gone now, or I've got used to it  :-/. So I would guess max assistance would be rather unpleasant...? So opposite of that would feel better I guess. A taste thing maybe?  :-/

My first car with power steering was a Carlton. No fancy speed relative assistance on that. The first time got to motorway speeds in it, my knuckle were white on the wheel trying to keep it in a straight line ................. till I got used to it.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

We much prefer the min assistance setting, still light to steer....but all feels more 'positive'

There are actually 6 settings in tech2 for it

3 for prefacelift relay
3 for facelift relay

Ive had mine on a variety of settings over the last few months to test the feel.....Definately feels best to me on the minimum setting.

Why not have a play next time your at a meet - setting can be checked, then adjusted either way and you can go off for a drive and see what you like best.
