lee celtic:
They did say at the end that most 4x4's ran on diesel  and were cleaner than equivilent petrol cars of similar cc and that the manufacturers are working hard to improve them more which is sort of good..

They ended saying they might one day ditch the chelsey tractor image .

I've never been there myself :lol: :lol:

Me neither  :lol:

I've often thought that the stereotypical urban 4x4 driver would have a bit of a problem with the kind of vehicles we drive. They're something of a handful!

carbore:
lets ban 4x4 so criminals cant steal them and use them for crime. Just like they did with guns.

did anyone notice that the police ones are 'Off roaders' rather than simple 4x4s

Thats because most Police officers hardly ever drive 'Off Road'. I did the Police Off Road driving course in Norfolk and knew more than the instructor did. When I shifted to Hampshire and did my driving assesments, the instructor looked at my Disco and said "you obviously know what you are doing so I won't waste my time taking you out to test you".
While that was rather flattering, I was somewhat concerned. Surely it is not that difficult that difficult to master an 'Off Roader'.
Apparently for most offficers it is. The most common cause of faults on Plod Land Rovers, is knackered gear boxes, namely diff lock being left in and the car being driven down the road at speed :rolleyes:
Having driven a Plod Terrano, I would rather have a Plod Defender any day. The Nissans may be more comfortable, but I trust the Landy.

I have a solution that is much more simple. Unfortunately, it is at the moment illegal.
