Series 3 off road capabilities
AndyMacG:
When I had my old series 3 109 there wasnt may places I couldnt get , used to annoy my mate with his disco as I would be right behind him most of the time offroad
we did one laneing trip in Northumbria and at the end of one rather muddy lane I realised I hadnt even put into 4wd :lol: and I used to annoy him at river crossings as it would carry on running even though it was agood old 2286 4 pot petrol
the only bit of preparing it for offroading was to put mud terrains on it other wise it was exactly the same as it came out of the army

That's good to hear, I was just about to ask the question of how well a S3 109 petrol would do offroad.
Only propblem I can see is the turning circle...

only ever had trouble a few times with the steering lock but discovered that when I put the mud terrains on disco rims it helped it that little bit more,the steering wasnt that heavy, think the army had rebuilt the landy before releasing it as everything was brand new under the bonnet
