Thread: Defender rollover

Only one reason for that.

Didn't know how to do a stall recovery.

All the way back, with foot on the clutch would be my guess.

I love how people blame the vehicle for their inability to drive, either that or the computer selects gears in a defender

Played it again with the sound up and the motor was still running while it was going backwards

Tombraider has stuck it to them already

Like they said!

I don't like the look of the roof, I have seen a few 110s and Defenders roll and the A pillar seems weak. I rolled my first 2A at high speed and it didn't do much damage at all. The cut away for the upper part of the windscreen like all things Land Rover seems an afterthought and they never got around to strengthening it.

What a load of crap. More like clutched it and ran it back down the hill and lost control. Nmber one way to roll on a hill descent.

Stalled Hill recoverys. you brake, put the hand brake on . Keep the foot brake and hand brake on (don't ever trust land rover hand brakes)
Then place in Reverse. Gentley take of the brake to make sure car is in reverse. Should go back a bit to take u the cogs , and gently let of the hand brake. Car should now be sat on the hill with you not touching the foot brake and the handbrake off. Next thing to do is to start the car ingear As this point you have your feet off everything (even the clutch pedal). This will start it in reverse and take you back down the hill under control
See Easy
And BTW that is the Land Rover Experiance way to do it

think it was his or daddys defender? cos they all sounded really young
