@J88GTM Lorry was grounded to a halt at the bottom of the hill, every time he tried to move forward he went sideways. The driver was there for an hour and blocking the road, when we arrived we asked the lorry driver that we can give him a tow before he should called for recovery, he said give it a go and we towed him from stationery up to a point of level ground, where he could continue on his journey. So, YES, that was Range Rover P38 power at its best and witnessed by many. THANK YOU.!!!
Says it all really, doesn't it? A Classic Vehicle which many said was a load of rubbish when it first came onto the market, hauling a thirty five or so ton artic uphill on an icy road.........
You're correct. Of course the M3 was not designed for towing but in the instance I quoted, the M3 had more traction available on its winters than the Suzuki thing on summers. Don't get me wrong, I love Range Rovers, especially the Classic. I'd have one if I had space to park it amongst my other cars! Would make a great winter vehicle.
Land Rover have always made capable vehicles, but YOU had better be capable of keeping them going, or be able to pay someone who knows how, you can make em reliable with enough time and money. Or buy the Japanese copies of the Rangie, aka Landcruiser or Patrol-they come with all the fixes.
I guess the HGV wasn't on winter tyres. That's the difference. My friend has towed a 4x4 Suzuki Jeep thing off its steep driveway using his M3 on winters.
