Konnie Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 ok with different tyres ground clearance is the key to many 4x4 check before mine bottomed out at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everycal Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ive got one all about the tyres obviously. Was OK even with on roads on it but now Ive got some real tyres on its fantastic. Got me out of some rather sticky situations. I love mine! Have just had a new one on test drive, it was great on road (50 mpg!) but didn't get a chance to give the 4x4 system a hammering.

The Croc Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hopefully will be getting one before crimbo :-D I've had a Scooby pickup, Hilux pickup, and a Trooper, I know the Exy is not in the same league, but hopefully will be as good as the one in the Fenboys clip, Outstanding :-D won't be doing that sort of off road though I know tyres make a big difference, but mine will be a 70/30 road bias, so was looking at these. http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-latitude-cross Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Matlock Tyres where the cheapest I could find fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCE Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 What's the reliability of a Nissan turbo like these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I use General Grabber AT's on my Freelander 2. Most of my off roading is on mucky tracks/fields, but they are good tyres. Also excellent on road as well. Got mine for £110 each inc fitting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Should you get one and it has the ESP system, read the manual. If you get in the mire and you haven't turned it off, apart from frightening you to death, the noise will convince you that the repair bill is likely to be in the £1000s.

wymberley Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Which model is that on, or is it on all of them? I'm not sure - I don't think it's on all models - as indicated by earlier threads on this model. The switch is low down by your right knee if fitted.

muffin Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have one use it picking up and all shooting trips after selling my TD5 90 that the wife cant drive any more as joint trouble The TD5 was a spare vehicle and shooting truck X trail not been stuck yet although have to watch ground clearance not as good and drive it like 90 harder to clean than 90 XTrail more comfy Had LRs had for 50 years all models from S1 could drive X Trail all day 90 would be hard work. MPG without trying about 37mpg 90 25 if you lucky Always have a 90 if it was all rough stuff and no road work but I love the X Trail its a great all purpose truck. seen the new one very impressive but expensive. One other thing 90 great one person and all gear including dog after that no room XTrail bags room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
