The “under carriage” still use the leave spring. But over all, it seems like a wonderful 4X4 vehicle…!!
Now in my country Indonesia, we knows that Landy have a twin brother Santana.

Nice to see the old bus still evolving. Still can’t say I like the Defender name, even after 18 years or so.

Yep, I noticed that spammers were fascinated!

At least you’re an off road spammer so I’ll leave you with a backlink. For anyone else - writing something relevant is a surefire way of getting your comment approved.

This is a great car on the road, but off road it’s limited by the tyres supplied by Land Rover. Having driven RR’s for over 25 years - this is my sixth RR, but all the others have been Classics, with proper compromise tyres - the late lamented BF Goodrich Trac Edge - on which I haven’t been stuck off road for at least 10 years! Brand Loyalty - it normally does what it says on the tin. However, for all the on board electronics, with the RSS when you encounter deep mud - not unusual with global warming! - you need a tyre with some shoulder. Stuck three times so far in the RRS in the last three months and I need to buy some tyres which can cope with both the on road capability and off road potential. 20″ wheels and Continental tyres at present are feckless; I’m looking to downsize to 18″ and either Grabber AT2’s or Avon Ranger Sports. Is ther anyone else who uses this great 4×4 for it’s real purpose and if so, do they have a view on best compromise tyre?
Peter.

Thanks for contributing Dave.
I’ve driven one, but as the title of the site says - I’m interested in what they’ll do off road, and no-one will let me do that with one - not even the dealers!

Sounds like you’re one of the minority of owners who use it for the right reasons - it’s a good tow vehicle, and yep, it’s a heck of a lot more comfortable than a defender. Personally I’d use the disco that it’s based on - it would be a lot cheaper, but that’s because I couldnt’ afford the RRS, and I’d be a bit iffy about chucking the RRS off cliffs - it’s £20k extra if anything goes wrong!

The tractor wouldn’t get 5 people (or even 2) across the pennines (and I don’t mean the motorway!) with a good amount of kit, let alone Africa or Siberia.

Youve obviously never driven one then. Not all 4×4 users want to go off-road. I use my RRS to pull a 3 ton boat. brilliant pice of kit.

I would however reccomend that prospective buyers of defenders simply buy a tractor instead, cheaper faster and more comfortable!!
