Looks like it depends....

If it's got variable steering (presumably assistance?) then they're all the same. If it's not, then there are different ones at different ages and for different engines

The 110 diesel (not sure about the 90) has a greater turning circle than the petrol cars so there must be a difference in something somewhere.

Well yes and no, earlier 2.0HDis which wear 15" wheels (not estates) have a smaller turning circle than later hatchbacks which have 16" wheels. Estates are all the same I think - turning circle wise, ive no idea about the racks.
