2023 FFRR L460
2021 AM new Vantage

I took mine offroad 2 weeks after getting it .....
But
1/ I bought it used already
2/ I specifically asked the dealer not to valet it ( except the inside ) when i bought it as I knew i was going to be greenlaning with it .
By the way I negociated a further 500 Euro reduction by doing that
3/ Around Marseille there are quite a few private properties , or off-road parks , where you can do it .
4/ Just in summer its restricted to prevent bush & forest fires . Jaybear

2002 V8 , premier edition , 19" alloys ,

Mine goes off road but that's normally towing either a trailer full of firewood across fields or my caravan. But I drive a bobtailed disco1 for off road trials ( and that does get muddy)

went off road twice in my td6 , ruined the paint work

Stan, I assume one of those was Salisbury, yes?

Well, since doing that one (where I too picked up a few scratches) I learned a technique for avoiding some of them. Pallet wrap mate, like domestic clingfilm but shed loads tougher. Stands up to all but the toughest brambles.

I bought a couple of rolls off the bay and it's saved me loads of work tidying up.

As for the mud. Pressure washer, lots of patience, a shortened nozzle and some scruffy clothes. You can get into the nooks and crannies in much the same way as you can have a vasectomy without anaesthetic. It is painful though.

thats the place Dom, i was a bit to enthusiastic going through the water and not knowing the water had fine shingle in it, hence the paint damage...
i remember you loosing a panel of sorts from underneath yours..





as for the pallet wrap , cant see that working cos you cant get in and out of the FF,

No and yes....well the FF wont see the mud but will tow the 90 challenge truck to events....and the 90 does get used and abused but currently retired from events due to me been to busy. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

No its a heavily modded TD5 auto with switchable ecu maps... Off road, Road & Fast Road big hybrid turbo load's done to the motor... That, the upper weight loss and A.C.E and its quite some fun on & off road

Interesting that the number plate doesn't get recognised on the DVLA database

The TD5 is a great engine offroad, it's only two failings were the location of the ECU and the plastic dowels. Land Rover Addict
