The RRS ( Black Betty) had Traction Control issues as well as ending up with a broken P/S front CV joint. It was such a pity for Jimmy and Karen as they where the video creators.Quote:

A couple of us were down near that bottom section were Jimmy first had issues negotiating the terrain, Steve and myself heard what we thought was the noise of a breaking CV. We where surprised that he could actually drive on from that point, yes it took quite a few attempts as you can see in the video as the RRS acted much like an open diffed 4wd.
Yes, I remembered the noise; I certainly thought he was a goner at that stage, and was surprised he made it up.Quote:

split my sides at the comment from Symmetrical on the Youtube site, noting the comments about Black Betty cracking a joint, he commented "Range Rovers for all their expense and electric aids are not good, go Land Rover" :lol2: :rocket::soapbox:
