Series 3 off road capabilities
muddyjames:
I had a series 3 and it was brilliant. Much better than my disco due to ramp over angle etc and the slightly larger tyres ment it didnt ground out on the diffs as much as disco's etc do. even with a tow bar on mine!

I like this one, a Landrover produced training file (several parts linked) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=q2I17OtZp6E

I love the 2nd part where in the sand they have whitw writing on white sand. Very good! And at the end they say if you get stuck it is an embarassment to the driver and the brand!! :lol:

That video was awesome, does that suspension look suprisingly active to anyone else? ha ha but yea a series 3 is pretty capable off road, the only limitations i ever find is sometimes power when in bombholes and stuff
Devon-Rover:
Very capable, Fair power to weight ratio, good turning circle, Good articulation when fettled, decent set of tyres can be fitted, Short overhangs too.
All in all a SWB series is a very competant and capable off road machine for not a lot of money.
