Just seen this on the net. Not exhaustive or scientific, but I thought his comments about how relaxing off reading in an rr was quite true......

GONE - 2007 Java Black FF Vogue, with Ivory interior

I think between me and Pete we have put FF's through a lot more challenging sections than whats on there.

I know a few times i've been on two wheels and had no problem with forward momentum.
Cant hear the audio at work but not sure he was in low range either which helps as it locks the transfer case/centre diff. But even with TCS turned off i've found the FF soon starts locking spinning wheels to get grip, even had an uphill where i stopped and only one wheel had any kind of grip but it sent most of the power there and kept the others slipping just a tiny bit waiting for them to get grip i suppose and then off we went  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

No centre locking diff in our transfer box mate, it's a 50:50 torque sensing Torsen differential, and it operates the same in high and low box....

That guy is an absolute totally no idea how to drive offroad, 90% of that video he was driving far too fast... with off roading you drive as slow as possible and as fast as is needed, not hit everything at speed and hope for the best...

He also has no idea how the TC system works, he kept pumping the accelerator, if he had kept an even pressure and let the front wheel spin a bit it would have locked it and he'd have carried on with no trouble at all...

If your going to make a video you think the jumped up little would learn how to drive.....

Rant over.... Pete

Ah but he didnt use his ' fancy offroad setting', probably didnt know how or where

Yes, it's not a lesson in how to off road. The bow wave, by definition should be going forwards, not sideways......

Made me smile how he was just trundling along, no drama, music and air con.....

That was me before pete showed us how its done

Typical Spam - all the gear, no idea!

So, where was the off roading bit then ? When I trialed just the tracks to the sections were worse than that. Seriously though, a FFRR will never make a good off roader, too big, too heavy and too fragile.

I would think you could soon run up massive repair bills by off roading any of the current range of LR products. They're useful on wet fields at the shoot or a country fayre, but that's about it nowadays.
Having said that, they don't need to make a good offroader any more, they'll trade on the name until the markets flooded then bye bye LR. After all, who's going to pay $100,000 for a motor when there's dozens of them on the local council estate or trailer park. They'll end up like beemers, who would want one when every chav and drug dealer drives one.

I think he racked up the enormous bills by driving it on the road. The 'off-roading' was a one-off.

3 steering columns, suspension, brakes, horn, alternators etc. Parking sensor fell inside the bumper so it beeped to warn him he was crashing into himself
