does it drive ok on road ? if yes it`s prob not a power prob. with mud you dont need power you need grip and torque and tecneque . power only spins wheels on mud!!!
Yes it drives well on the road the wheels won't spin on the mud I've got good MT coopers on

Respectfully disagree. You need to learn how to use your gear box.when off road use low range diff lock all the time.if your nipping across a flat field or track then you can leave it in high. Its never an issue of power unless its struggling on the road. In this case its the fleshy bit behind the wheel letting the disco down.

1st gear low range you will do about 1mph before u have to change gear,u need to really understand how you disco works and when and how to use low/hi
u need to do a lot of searching on ere
