WinchesterDave Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well finally, toady we did a land rover experience in a Discovery 4..... All I can say is, WOW! What a vehicle. The obstacles it can get over is astonishing! The side ways 38-40 degree slope was a bit un Nerving at first but the amount of trust you gain from the car is huge! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and although I only sat in whilst my dad drove it, i had a great time and was gutted when it ended. The technology on these vehicles is awesome and the traction control system works like a dream and gets the car moving again with ease. I am mightly impressed with the service at the Halewood plant by the experience staff and the instructor we had was great:) All in all ill rate it 10/10 Dave.

ryle Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I did one at Peckforton, Cheshire. We went out in a new defender. I was rather surprised at the level of technology in those machines now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) The technology on these vehicles is awesome and if you can afford to buy a new one that is great but if you are poor/normal and can only afford to buy a 6+ year old one if or should I say when something goes wrong with the electronics I dread to think what you do about it with michanical parts when they brake you just replace the part with electronics you scrap the car/truck unless you can afford main dealer money to get on to ther computers to find the problem.
