The second generation of Range Rovers took much of the ability of the previous model and enhanced it with air suspension as standard and traction control.
You're more likely to find that the P38's limitations are more down to your own concerns than the vehicles abilities.
I have been without a speedo for sometime now, and been relying on the GPS to tell me what speed I was travelling.
So, unable to put up with it any longer, I got a new speedo cable and spent 30mins replacing it last week. When it didn't fix the problem (speedo was still not reading), I had to delve a little deeper to find what the problem was.
It turns out it was the speedo drive gear in the transfer gearbox that was worn and not turning the speedo cable. So it was back to the Landy shop to get a replacement drive gear.
This is how I replaced it.
This weeks featured product is for all of you Discovery off roaders out there.
Fitting rock and tree sliders to your vehicle really helps to cut down on the damage to the vehicle when travelling over some extreme terrain.
They replace your existing sills, and are strong enough to use your high lift jack on.
Lets have a closer look.
Another great day was had at the weekend during Torbay 4x4 club's pay and play day at Trago Mills in Devon.
Within an hour of the start a Suzuki SJ had bust their shock, while a Range Rover got a puncture.
All in all though it was another awesome day which really showed what these vehicles are capable of.
Here's the photos:
It's like off roading in an arm chair is how one of my mates has described tackling the rough stuff in a Range Rover - and he's right!
Long travel coil spring suspension allows the wheels to track the ground, while you sit in luxurious comfort inside. And its not just you who get all the benefits of the comfort, its your passengers as well.
As promised, here is part 2 of the Land Rover G4 challenge selections video.
I posted part 1 of the G4 Challenge Selections last week, and part 3 will follow next week.
Enjoy!
I have been hunting around on eBay for quite some time, looking for something to replace the oversize wheels and tyres on the Land Rover 110.
I was pretty keen to go back to the standard Defender tyre size of 7.50/16, put wanted a mud terrain pattern as I am off road pretty much every weekend.
I had also done a lot of research, and ideally wanted the Michelin XZL mud tyre, as it was a good strong tyre and suited for what I have planned for the 110. But at £150 a tyre, it was waaay out of my price range!
This weeks featured product is aimed at all of you that like to get your Land Rovers into some deep water.
If you are going to be taking your Land Rover through water more than about 500mm (50cm) deep, then you will need an extended breather kit.
An here is just what you need for a very reasonable price.
Its exactly 1 year ago since I started the Land Rover Blog (or Land Rover Discovery blog as it was known then!)
When I started the blog, it was nothing more than to a way of documenting the work and modifications to my Land Rover Discovery - but it soon became much more than that.
Now the aim is to help out other Land Rover owners with tips, tricks, tech articles, and relevant Land Rover information and products. Lets have a little look back on how it all started.
