Have a look at this....

I'd love to see any BMW X3 / X5, Mercedes ML Whatever, Lexus RX, Jeep Grand Cheroke etc etc even attempt this :P

****Sorry slight bias view****

Certainly wouldn't want to change the tyre though....

really good read that... some impressive photos too.

The LR3 is a great off roader, which happens to be fairly good on road! Nice read

Do like them but if I had the money I would by a Nissan Pathfinder

See this weeks Autocar, as they have a feature on the iceland trip.

A big factor, possibly the biggest, when it comes to staying mobile in icy, snowy or muddy conditions is the tyres. Just take a look at the chunky tread of the tyre shown in the first post.

Truly impressive Saying that, I was also impressed by how well a brand new (50 miles on the clock!) Rangie was doing on one of our local offroad days with the only modification being a set of mud tyres
