offroad use

cab · 07-16-2004, 03:31 AM

Wondering peoples opinion about the allroad, off-road. Has anybody attempted off-road use with the allroad yet?
last wekend I did: in the lake-district. some months ago I was there with my (lifted) wrangler. I have to say I was throughly impressed!

I have been off road a few times now in various trips up the Breacon Becons in Wales and through some pretty deep mud around Bristol and I can report that it handles itself pretty well. In fact on a trip to the Black mountains recently we had to help a Landrover Discovery II out which had got itself into trouble in a pretty wet snow and muddy patch, felt very smug that i had the benefit of torson diff locks rather than the disco's electronic traction control that simply could work out where to put the power as the surface was pretty shiny.

I went to the mountains with 30 cm of sweet white snow: no problem, in hard hills,too. I only fitted 4 M+S tyres and it was all fine. I desconnect the ESP system to have some fun

Great car! it was possible to run high speed on ice without drama!
However, after 8 km of drift, the brakes stars to smell bad odour...unfortunately it's not possible to desconnect the EDS system (self lock diff)!
