I am running a V8 petrol with Manual 5 speed. Yeah I have driven diesel and yes diesel acts differently then petrol. Good thing u pointed out that bigger tires mess up the gearing...I was gonna get bigger tires...because we mostly have sandy terrain...as for me I have a company in saudi..we are into multimedia/advertising and Off roadin is my weekend passion. Just love it. how about u dude? what do u do?
I'm an outdoor pursuits instructor in Morocco. We lead rock climbing, trekking, mountaineering, off road expeditions, kayaking, etc... You should come join us for a trip sometime.
Yep, airing down the tires would have helped, but 2nd gear wouldn't. I did get up it in 3rd after this video was taken. We didn't air the tires down because we were in the middle of a 1000 mile Sahara expedition and were just playing around after camp was set up. Next time I hope to record the succesful climb and not the failed one!
Yes u are right...Its the spirit that counts. U did make it so thats good. I just added my comments because I do this every weekend in Saudi Arabia and I have the exact car (98 Land Rover Discovery) and I always do all my climbing in 2nd and it goes amazing. But nice stuff..would love to do an expedition with u guys sometimes.
Your disco has the 300tdi right, or are you running a V8 with the ZF box? My 92 (200tdi, R380) doesn't have the momentum in 2nd to make it happen. The larger tires make the gearing wrong. I want to change out the ring and pinion to bring it back to normal. What are you doing out in Saudi?
