EdF...thats the kind of answer I was looking . Thanks very much.

cheers.have already slid sideways down a hill and wedged myself between two trees..amazing..they were exactly the same distance apart as the length of my defender...

Cheers..rather go out on my own and practice a bit before I go and make a complete cock of myself by sticking my landy in a ditch in front of some experienced off roaders. Obviously if you see a green station wagon on your travels in a ditch...thats me...give me a wave.

Anyone know of any off road tracks I can use in these areas? Cant seem to find any on the internet...but i know there are some - as three trail equipped mud splattered landys keep driving past my house!

yep understand that- was just wondering if anyone had specific models they had used that they were impressed with.Thanks

next stupid question...what size am I limited too on these alloy wheels.I would have thought the same is required- but it seems that you can get 265/75 tyres on there too?..what sizes can I have?

well..i live in a very rural area...loads of mud and water.If the grabbers are as good as it gets ..fine...But just wondered if there were anything worth changing for that still worked OK on the road..

I have a 2003 90 SW with alloys that are fitted with Grabber 235/85/16R....I want to put some good winter tyres on.Any suggestions of better tyres?
