Angles

Porny:
Actual figures:

Land Rover 90/110/130
Maximum gradient for any Defender: 45°
Approach angle for any Defender on 235 / 7.50 tyres: 50°
Ramp breakover angle – on a Defender with 235 / 7.50 tyres - 90: 145.3° / 110: 152.8° / 130: 156°
Departure angle - on a Defender with 235 / 7.50 tyres - 90: 47° / 110: 34°/ 130: 34°
Discovery Series 1 - 200 and 300Tdi

Maximum gradient: 45°
Approach angle 40°
Departure angle 32°
Ramp Breakover angle 151°

Ramp break over angle is only slightly better on the Disco vs 110 front....

This is because although the Defender has a an extra 10" in the wheelbase its runs on 235x85x16 (or 750x16) tyres which will give it extra clearance under the main chassis.

Also, the suspension on a 110 sits higher than a Disco so again will give an extra bit of clerance...

Both of these factors allow the Defender to compensate against it's extra wheelbase... so much so that I'd doubt you'd notice off road.

If you are talking about a series 2 Disco, the figures are slightly different but not much.

Thanks guys,

I was thinking they would probably be quite similar.

Still can't make my mind up - have got a disco already and done a few mods to it. If I did get a defender (more likely to be a 110 cos of prices) I would probably end up putting after market seats of some sort in to help with the comfort.

Decisions, decisions...

Get a 110, I did. I have RR for years. With the 110 the body is not as wide as a Disco.

Cal:
Hi Paul,

I've seen the pics of your 110 in the getting some flex thread - nice - doesn't look like much stops you in that!  8)
