Useful pages Bobby, have printed them and will keep them in the front of my owners document folder instead of having to wade through the owners manual just in case...............................

Here is a video of the testing of the recovery eye strength of the Disco3

RRSport on 43-45 degree incline @ Moegatle

I took my Rangie up a 43 degree incline, that turns into almost 45 degrees as the left front wheel lifts. The traction is amazing!

Check out the video, more clips to follow!

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Zambezi Silver

Great video - yes you are mad! A little bit of extra tilting on the camera makes it look steeper, but it's still steep.

One word of advice - please close your windows next time, if you rolled you would probably lose your hands/arms. RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.
On Order - LRX expected 2010

Laughing Wow - that's steep!! Much better to watch than be the one driving - or can I borrow your car to try that!

Can you do that without the lockers?

Which is more important the rear locker or the tyres?

If you look at the less fortunate souls who attempted 'Koos se Klip' in the following clip, I don't know if I would attempt it with anything other than a Range Rover or a Disco3 with lockers & proper tyres!!
