Finally I can put the FFRR to the test. I've watched cars all day wheelspinning up the street so I had a go. What a great feeling NOT to get stuck! 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

As a former user of Discovery 3 I can confirm the FFRR is way better in snow! A joy to drive when the others drift away and it parks in spots forbidden to the rest of the mortals... |

Even the AA have seen the light with a number of Land Rover vehicles in their fleet where their vans can't get to.

I've fitted a set of Vredestein Wintracs to mine. It makes the Range Rover even better. T/C hasn't felt the need to wake up and the ABS has only pulsed under heavy provocation even on compacted snow and ice.

Done over 250 miles in mine in the snow this last week. Did run from Bury to Lancaster Sunday last and it was at -5 when I set off and all the roads were ungritted through Bury - Bolton - motorway. Cars were crawlinig everywhere but he FFRR romped it. Got there in the normal time as there was never anything in front of me!!!

If you want to stop off for a brew on your way you are welcome, just 2 mikes off J28 - M6.

I have just returned from spending Christmas and Boxing day with my daughter, nothing special there, but the farmhouse she lives in is 2 miles up a single track road in rural south west Scotland, this track was frozen hard packed snow/ice, getting up and down this track proved totally uneventfull , also the confidence you have in the vehicle when considering the 250 mile drive ahead and that is why IMHO ffrr is no.1 |
