Land Rover Discovery 4 and Defender 90 Spent the Day at Frickley Offroad 4x4 Centre Might have got the Discovery 4 Really Stuck but the 90 Rescued Me Tyres and car performed Great just needs a little more ground clearance.
Tip for the guy winching you out. When he whinches cars out that are properly stuck (but it's even better to always do this). Open the bonnet and have it opened up, this way it is a shield when something breaks in the shackle or steal wire rop and comes flying back to his car.
Having a Disco 4 is great, learning to drive it is better... Mind there is somewhere a knob named "terrain response" 😉. Always put something like a tree branch on the cable when winching ! And don't touch the cable without gloves.
I will certainly try to get round to it but basically I take all the wheels off and throughly jet's everything out and clean and re-grease the areas that need it
How do you find the tyres for road noise. Yours don’t look too aggressive. I’ve upgraded ours to 265/65/18 on compomotive PD1881, but went with ATs in the end, as I was concerned MTs would be noisy, slow stopping and a bit ‘drifty’ on bends. 😁
the tyres are quite Noisy and the most aggressive I could fine in the size I needed. But the D4 is very quiet and well insulated so you don't really hear them with the windows up
That's what I was expecting when the guy was walking back to the Defender I used to work where the Navy tested arresting cables and when they snap there's no running away :(
Don't you have the rear locking diff?.....Aside from ground clearance . It's always a good idea to check the water depth with a long stick first. ;) Looks like a lot of fun though!
Yes Rear Diff lock on this one just got stuck on its belly, and for the water depth I 110% expected it to get stuck but thought it would be funny to let the GF have a go
We had this debate on the day with the guy using the winch. Apparently not needed on nylon winch ropes. (I have no knowledge on the subject just what he said)
