Offroad Prep for 2006 RR TD6

Now I'm baffled........

If 400bhp is pointless in a 4wd, surely it's equally as pointless in a road car? 70mph is the maximum legal speed you can hit in this country.

Aren't lots of the top sports cars 4wd, anyway?  :?

--- Quote from: "Thrasher" ---Hi there . .. check my galleries. I have a 2006 Vogue SE SC which I put 19" rims with MT/R's on (despite LR saying they would not fit). THere is also some other stuff in there regarding recovery points.

The wheels and tyres are for sale if you are interested :-) They are 255/55R19 Goodyear MT/R's. On road they are noisier than normal, I have just taken them off due to the fact that 400bhp on wet roads with muds is far far far too silly. THey are *awesome* in the sticky stuff tho!

Thanks for the offer Thrasher but I already have the 18's and I think my wife might get a bit upset if another full set of wheels turns up. Just have to find the tyres for my 18s I think.

Where did you get the rear recovery eye?

To answer some of the other posts... yup it would be cheaper to get an old landie of somesort, however... first I live in Jersey so there is limited availability and as soon as you try and bring something in there are lots of costs and taxes which make it a lot less attractive. And second I have nowhere  to put it, which is probably the bigger problem! Soooo that leaves and extra set of boots for the Rangie and some _very_ careful offroading!  :D

And for the record I would love to have 400bhp too, but I have been told by the local dealer that the RRSC owners over here (of which there are quite a lot) are getting about 6mpg at best 9mpg! Now thats just silly when after 2.5K my TD6 is doing around 22mpg over a tank. Hilly and urban style driving, not a good combination for fuel economy. Out of interest what do you get out of yours Thrasher?

Anyway to drag this back on topic a little does no one have any suggestions for 18" Tyres other than the slightly small General AT2?

Cheers
Jas

i agree here its pointless in any car to have 400bhp!

whats the point your never going to use it so whats the point in havin it and whats th point in havin it in a range rover

dew1911:
The Horsepower isn't a problem, using it wrong is.

What 400bhp means is that thrasher can reach comfortable cruising speeds quickly and easily where as other cars would take longer, therefore being safer especially when pulling out of a junction.

So Dan, I assume then you are going to go out and buy a 1.0 Citroen AX as you really don't need any more power for the roads? They can match all the speed limits.
