Perhaps slightly tight but doesnt worsen after long use,
in fact I notice it most when its just taking off from cold on full lock,
can just hear the tyres trying to break away,
and only then next to a wall with the windows open,
other than that it passes all the VC tests..
Could be a number one?
But I had thought there might be grades of natural stiffness.
It handles the slippery stuff very well indeed as it is.
Same as rollercoaster above; just hear the front s breaking away a bit when on full lock from cold, but seems to be OK when warm...

I'd go for options 1-6 (6 being the stiff 'n' de-co)

Re: Poll: What is the state of your VC ?
Dont need a propshaft to check if its blown.. lay underneath and try and turn the input flange... if it turns easy or with little resistance, its buggered and a new is needed.. if it doesnt turn then its either ok or stiff and then you will need a prop.. BUT, all tyres need to be inflated correctly and the same size and amount of wear.. and even the same brand...

It's coming soon - in the middle of a lockup move to be completed by end of month between April showers!
2 lockup moves, no between three, plus rebuilding a shed for others and waterproofness catching us out, at every turn... HM

So works very well
I'm thinking I can't be the only one running like this.
Can I have my own column if that's not the case
Same here, so we need this option
