Thread: Youtube videos - D3, D4 & RRS off road

Im amazed you don't hear of more broken CVs and axle shafts.

Everyone was pretty careful, especially with so many eyes looking on. But the traction control made the climb seem like a Sunday drive (which it was), as long as you picked the right line.

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.

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"
