Perhaps what i need is a higher driving position? Oh, that's why I came here, to find out about Range Rovers.
I'm finding out a little about (some) RR drivers too.  |

Any of the above would do very nicely, thanks. Add armament and I could visit the council offices and, er... complain. |

Thanks, I did see that at some stage, but i'm too thick to understand what it does that's different from Dynamic Response. I thought the latter was the anti-roll gizmo?
This is more than academ ... |

Thanks for the advice, all.
Driving slower isn't really practical in that these holes open up very quickly on all kinds of stretches. I've ruined three tyres this year, none at speed, and swore ... |

Is there any combination of rim size, tyre etc that's most resistant to pothole damage? Road conditions around here are shocking.
Trying to think ahead of RR purchase. |

Very sorry to hear that Noddy. Hopefully it's some consolation that you got there in time.
Funeral directors here will know all about how to do that; it's not uncommon since so many people have ... |

I believe it's a different thing, but i haven't got a clue what it does.
Does it reduce roll on bends to comfortable levels? I really think that part is the decider for me, and if a later FFRR h ... |

This is hugely helpful, thanks all.
The more I look into this, the more it looks like the Sport is the right one. My weekly 450 miles round trips involve long stretches of winding mountain road ... |

Ah, thanks. I get it now. I definitely need space, and i don't like the d4 looks. So FF it is then.  |

D4 can't have the TDV8. Sport can.
Now I am puzzled!
So what explains the general disdain on here for the Sport? |

Ah, that makes things easier, DMRR, thanks.
My offroading will be limited to heavily rutted mountain tracks, nothing serious. Sounds like any LR would do.
So the most important limitation of ... |

Yes, the Range Rover Sport is essentially a Discovery with a different body on.
