A fun day indeed doing a series of obstacles at Black Pearl Vineyards in Paarl!

However, I was most unimpressed with the performance of my RRS even with an extra 20mm height setting using my IID tool - I was the only vehicle to not be able to clear all the obstacles. At one point, the front bumper popped out and had to be pushed back into place.

What was impressive was that a brand new D5 cleared all of them, with a few scrapes.

Haha, indeed.

However, my Puma has been in the shop for the past 18 months now, with a drivetrain vibration that has the best indies in Cape Town stumped... --

Great photos and video. Nice to see the Series I Landie being given a good workout! Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic

Gone: 2016 SDV6 HSE
2012 SDV6 SE

thanks!

This is the obstable which I couldn't complete, no matter what line I took.






The D5 also struggled at first, but managed to get through eventually with a few plastic bits popping out.

So even a +20mm extra height with the IID tool is not enough to compete with the D5. --

Great to see rust free D1/D2’s - most here have succumbed to rotten rear ends and body work corrosion due us salting roads in winter....... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

yeah, plenty of those running around here

I suppose other than a sub-frame mod, there's no way to get a suspension lift? --

In our off road club there are several D2’s running with suspension lifts and bigger MTR’s. They have a forum - d2boys.co.uk where you might find some help 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Nice video - except the godawful "music"!

I watched it with the sound turned off.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

what??? it took me hours to find the right music for this outing

I only put in a loudish track because the Park Assist is constantly beeping, and it doesn't seem as if the volume for it is working  --

I did say out loud "turn off the park assist!" and then remembered it's a video!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Last month the Club went back to Black Pearl for a Fun Drive
