I'm with you on this Jonas

Felted garage roof last Friday for RRS - just need a thaw to tile it

Using my FL1 at the moment - especially in view of other members comments re 20" continentals on snow and Ice

I have never had any problems with any of my previous LR's in bad weather but my brother told me his stormer wheels were useless too  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Well I'm braced to have the micky taken, but I don't like using nice cars in bad weather. All the grit & salt doesn't do the paint work any good so this is the closest my 4x4's will get to the snow

Might as well get a scale model dinky toy, you wouldn't have to go outside to polish it to see your very saaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddd face in it then

Hey, I live in ICELAND and there is no snow here. Whats the deal?

Now your bankrupt doubt you can afford it

Do you guys think I will be able to drive straight out of this with road tyres? I've got about half a mile of this ungritted or ploughed before I reach a very steep hill to get onto the main road.

I'd appreciate your advice as I'm not familiar with driving in deep snow!

Thanks

It looks like you've got 20's on, so take it steady but I would expect a RRS to be able to get through that fairly easy.

They're standad 19's, so fingers crossed! Presume I just select snow terrain, raise it up and use the low ratio box?

Thanks

true hypocrite

Well in my bazaar way of thinking, his car is already burred in snow so a little more wont hurt. However my car is tucked away with a space heater, a blanket, and a mug of coco.

GGS, Offroad height (only to get out of where you are at the mo) and high range. Drive gently, not too fast that you loose control or have problems braking but not to slow that you don't have any momentum. Just let the car sort out a lot of the decisions. Carry a shovel, if you have one, to dig out the snow from in front of your wheels if you get stuck. I drove straight out of this without any drama, you need a bit of momentum but not to the extent that you just dig yourself in. Enjoy!!

From the pic there is a set of tracks to follow, once you get in them you should be able to avoid broadsiding. After a few runs up & down you should have a good little snow road.

Standard 19" Y spoke Landrover wheels that fit over the Brembo brakes as fitted to the 08MY TDV8, tyres are Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 255/55 R19 They are very difficult to get as I don't think they are made any longer, I've had this set for 3 years now and still have a lot of tread left on them.
This is them when they are clean and beside the 19" spare
