What size are the tyres & wheels? I just bought a one with 18′s and want to get some off road tyres.

I am really surprised the up market 4wd’s would go into the desert and tackle some of the tracks. We did it (simpson) years ago and the CSR in a unimog ( i know, no challenge for the mog) but we had a landrover as a extra and it did very well, needs to be raied a bit. u guys make tough rovers.

Good stuff. Maybe you should report that in your articles to stem the common misconception that Land Rover are as reliable as Melbournes Weather

How ’bout an off-road test between all of the soft roader’s with a decent set of tyres on them. You might be surprised.
You failed to mention any mechanical issues. Am I to believe that you guys got all that way with so many Rovers and nothing went wrong?

Water Boy:

Yes, Land Rover had two G4 Discoveries at the event with the full kit.

Also in attendance was Defender, Sport and Vogue.

Bavarian Missile:

Door seals worked really well. The only issue came when air vents were left open while trekking through bull dust!

Good to see a softroader with genuine of road capabilities. The Freelander is a quality and capable vehicle.
