Not the basic 5-seat & 7-seat they sit on coils my friend. I am getting uprated coils to give me about 5cm more height.

I guess you get what you pay for no Terrain Response either just Manual Gears High/Low and HDC....

Makes you feel your actually driving the car Whistle

HATE manuals off road, especially in low range. If you're crossing ruts for example you want control, not lurching all over the place trying to balance 3 pedals.

Love manuals in a fast road car, though. Guess its just preference.

My preference is also Auto both on and off road but this one was too much of a good buy to miss and it is actually quite refreshing driving a manual Land Rover for a change.

Once it's finished, and it's going to look fabo, and then used to green lane a few times I will probably sell it on and do the same again with an Auto HSE with the brilliant terrain response Very Happy ( I may become known as the G4 Replica Man Wink )

No, but then they don't have plastic overhanging bumper bits to worry about. They can just smash into anything they want.

Having spent my childhood being thrown around in 90's as they bounce and jerk around all over the place I am very thankful for my soft suspension and autobox. Although, to be fair not as comfortable off road as an Alvis Stalwart, or as good at wading!

i believe you can take some of the front bumper off the FFRR to go off roading, [in the manual?]
