Series 3 off road capabilities
Range Rover Blues:
I go laning sometimes with Climbing Chris. I remeber once we'd done a series of lanes and I'd had fun, sometimes I got a bit sideways and the going was slippery. When we got back to the road Chris said he'd found them so tricky he considered going into 4WD at one point :lol:
Series are very capable, somtimes you'll get hung on stuff that I will get over but mostly I find series just get on with it, they'llonly be left behind by seriously modyfied coil sprung LR.
fire boy si:
the only limiting factor with a series landy is the bravery (stupidity ) of the man /woman behind the wheel never have i been stuck only had a tempory lose of traction

It depends what you call temporary, if that means requiring digging, waffle boards, winching, towing, jacking, then I've only ever been stuck temporarily too. :lol:

Well are you stuck now? No? Temporary then :lol:
"Temporarily delayed by a yet unknown amount" sounds better than broken down too. :roll:
Chris Putt:
A good friend of mine has a series 3 109 with a perkins prima (2.0ltr TD) in it, 1 tonne shackles and a set of 265/75 BFG Muds on it. It has to be said it is a very capable machine, its been a few places my old disco struggled with little or no fuss. His one improves vastly when it has some weight in the back too as the rear end doesn't flex that much when its empty!!!
Cheap, capable machines- just getting harder to find a good one these days.
