- A mate and I decided to see which Land Rover would be best at climbing an incredibly slippery byway. We had a great time testing our Land Rovers, and I hope you enjoy the video.

Nice to see a classic Landy doing what it was built for.
Absolutely. The Series is fantastic 👌
Lighter Series and skinnier tyres will always win! 😎 Watch those halfshafts though 👀
Is that the answer?
Skinnier tyres and locking the diffs?
It’s also on parabolics
the tyres are skinny for a reason, to get grip
S3 halfshafts were much stronger than IIAs.
24 splines halfshafts replaced the 12 splines in earlier series 1 and 2, 2a S3 don't break the shafts at the diff as easy.
Series III all the way. We used to own a diesel LWB III series reg no SUJ 472R.
Skinny tires for the win!
very cool: D. My father also drove a Land Rover 88 Series 3 Diesel ... that was a long time ago ..
I'm already thinking about a Land Rover Series 3 suction diesel hole .. I've already found one .. I ask the dealer if he'll take my Suzuki Jimny FJ in payment.
Question: Are Land Rover Series 3s vulnerable? I hear how robust they are ... is that correct? I'm thinking of the TDI 300 or a series 3 ... I think series 3 is more beautiful!
Thanks for the answer, greetings from Germany :)
sorry i'm not very good at english
It depends if you want power assisted steering, if you do then I recommend an early Defender with a 200tdi engine, or a slightly later model with a 300tdi.
The Series 3 is a very basic car and in my experience is very reliable when not modified. But you'll still need to keep on top of maintenance, as they will break occasionally.
I also highly recommend upgrading the heater in a Series 3, they're terrible lol. You can get an upgrade from any marine (boat) website and it's easy to install.
Best of luck and your English is great 😃
You series 3 (1974 registered) is still going strong and it doesn’t get wrapped in cotton wool. No luxury at all but that’s half the fun 👍🏻
You've got to go back and conquer it in the 90!
+BratTVN I've left the 90 down, don't worry, I'll be back and that hill won't know what hit it 😂
Fantastic. Work constantly at the wheel to find traction at the rut margins. If that fails & if the ruts aren't too deep, reduce tyre pressure as low as poss, depending on how far you are from home - & you'll stroll it with probably no wheelspin. Otherwise straddle the ruts & climb up on a fresh surface, which looks possible here, tho' you might go up at an interesting angle. But that's OK. There are lots of options before lockers & super aggressive tyres. I knew a guy who kept a bag of pine needles in his LR, which he'd sprinkle on tracks like this to make them driveable.
Momentum and off road tyres take you to the deeper holes to get stuck in then you buy winches ect.
You don't need lockers or any other mods for that type of work.
Simply let the tires down to 10-15lb.
Fact.
the mud tyres on the series was the difference, also dont be afraid to spin the tyres in mud as its what clears them and stops them being slicks, im not saying go crazy but it looked like you was driving as you would in snow. Snow grips snow hence slow so you keep the snow in youre tyres, mud doesnt work the same, spin and clear the tread. nice looking series btw.
Beautiful Countryside !
+T JRick I'm pretty lucky to live here in Wiltshire 🙂
+T JRick Wiltshire is very pretty, the county is very green, much like my Defender 😂
I lived in Fareham HANTS for 7 months 20 yrs ago. Loved every minute of it. Mt. Biked/ hiked in the Peak Dist, New Forest, Corfe Castle, Lake Dist, Wickam, Southwick, Portsmouth... so much joy! Went to two Land Rover Off Road events.. incredible... I'm restoring a NADA '73 88 Series III petrol at the moment.
dont hesitate with the throtle mate, use the momemtum 👍
easy if you had locking diffs
Superb comparison
Tyres clogged with mud, the Series III should have made a new track out of the the pathway already there.
All about the tyres. Some decent Mud tyres and youd both fly up there :D
A decent set of tyres would have made all the difference.
S3 would have done that no problem. 🤔
+NFoxtv Now that sounds like a challenge. Bring it on!!!
On d90 tires much smaller
your s3 looks lovely!
Hi boys where is this please..
Hey mate, this was filmed in Devizes at Roundway. There are lots of good trails over there, and you can even link up with Salisbury Plain 👍👌
2cv would do it effortlessly :)
😂 now that I’d love to see
VinnyVsx u have never seen the dual motor 4x4 2cv have you?
kwestak 2cv what a car. Best car I ever owned. Freddy the Flying Frog was a red Dolly with an all red rag top. The minute you got in it a massive smile came on your face. Speed meant nothing just the pure joy of bouncing along with that 650cc engine buzzing away. Would love to own another but cheaper to buy a Ferrari these days............
Wrong type of tires
U not have locked dif
Tom Hart what makes you think diff lock wasn’t used???
Benjymoto 33 the fact the wheels wasn’t all turning at stages haha
Great British Role Play that’s called a centre diff you goon
Lewis Noyes not sure who your calling s goon my friend but he certainly didn’t have diff locks used. I suppose your one of them people that are a expert in everything and like to pipe up on comments. Well if it makes you sleep well at night god bless ya
Land rover series 3 is around 400 Kg lighter
sometimes I get sad and think about my old defender 110, but then videos like this make me remember why I bought a Jeep! xD
Gumbo95 did you change your job to a hair stylist?
stephen tillston slammed him mate
Lock the diffs and she'll fly up
they dont have diff locks only a centre diff lock
Mark Burton the defender does
just get a Land Cruiser bro
Haha nah dude, I am a sucker for unreliability
Nice video lads. My series lll SWB 88" petrol was a brilliant climber, had such fun in her. It took my family from Liverpool to Brittany (via the ferry) and we did loads of off roading. I decided to see where a very steep route led to over a bay and it was incredible, we ended up on the far side of a bay, then we had to go down a very steep rocky path into a town! That was hair raising with sheer drops to one side. I can feel the perspiration now. Excellent car.
So massive fat tyres are not only shit on road, they are shit off road as well?
Depends on the tyres. These were cheap Chinese "off road" tyres. They were somehow amazing on road, but not bad off road. A set of mud BF Goodrich's are superb, I wish I fitted a set before the chassis rotted out ☹️😂
Move steering wheel from side to side so side walls get a grip of summit
land rovers are the best
Speed and powaaaaa - my only offroad strategy
It should be called Father vs son.
Pretty well Exactly what I expected really........................
defender is never about speed, put in low diff lock and let her pull you over in her own time, second gear low revs, and just a tickle, let the low rev long stroke tdi work its magic
Couldn't agree with you more. When I was new to off roading, I would just accelerate hard all the time, but now I know. Slow and steady wins the race 🤠
Why would you keep telling him to ease off,rubbish driver in the 90 with shite tyres
Couldn’t agree more. I am truly hopeless 😂
0:50 engage the diff lock
Looks chalky. V slippey
+highdownmartin It really was. In the dry this hill isn't even a problem, but with even a slight hint of rain you can barely stand up on the track
Nice series! What make parabolics do you have and are they soft? I bought some Rocky Mountains years ago for my 88 (two leafs) but they are terrible. Looks like the older they get the harser they get. I already changed the shocks but the springs are just rubbish. I think i'm going back to stock springs. They were softer than the garbage from canada😅
Nice series 3
What's the series , petrol or diesel, either way, lovely truck! Mine would have been scuppered there by the drop plate, that said.. I have torn it off before now....
Deflate the tyres a bit and put a compressor in back
Series had much better tyres for those conditions.
Brilliant motors both of them and I own both models. The only car I ever owned that made me smile more was the Citroen 2 CV. Nothing beats on old belter for some analogue driving and a great laugh. Subbed to see more and support your channel 👍🏻
Thank you Tony. I have a lot more content planned, but Covid has stopped me seeing my other Landy friends.
Wow you had a 2CV. I love those cars and would really like to own one at some point
Why don't they just drive round using the nicely tarmac'd road seen at the start? :rolleyes:
👍
It’s all in tyres!
It really is. I had cheap Chinese off road tyres here, whereas the Series 3 was running BF Goodrich A/T's. There's no contest on which is a better tyre 😂
A Citroen 2CV on its bicycle tyres would have shot up it like a rat up a drainpipe 😄👍🏻
better mud tyres on series 3 prob came down to that
ranter7100 or maybe just better driver
I dont see any articulation
What’s happened to the 90 now
Long story short, rust. Lots and lots of rust 😭
@@vinnyvsx4954 do you know what’s happened to it because I’ve just brought one and it’s got no vin or plate and was just told it was used as an off roader
It went to some guy in Devon, who wanted it as a pure off roader but he was going to fix it up. But it hasn't had an MOT for a while. Does the one you bought look like my 90 from the videos? If it does, I had a safety switch on the ignition circuit in the dash, it might still be there.
@@vinnyvsx4954 was his name Darren?
I think so
I’m only 11 but all wheel is better than front and back just a fact
Differentials are scraping on mounds in middle. Besides it comes down to mostly luck of what path is chose, tires tread, driver ability and a bit of momentum to overcome scraping diffs.
New model does not use 4x4 lock
why arenʻt they locking the differential?
Is locked
@@silurogt2066 if the center diff was locked all wheels spin at the same speed
@@johnthomasdesign No. You don't know what is a center diff lock. I'm Italian I have difficult to explain you in this language. Traslate this:
Quando il differenziale centrale è bloccato l'asse posteriore si comporta in modo separato da quello anteriore. Normalmente il compito di un differenziale è quello di fornire coppia alla ruota che non ha grip, comodo su strada ma non in off road anche con un 4×4 basta avere una sola ruota che slitta per restare fermi. Quando blocchi il differenziale centrale disattivi questo meccanismo tra asse posteriore e anteriore ma non sugli assi, per disattivarlo anche sugli assi servono i blocchi anteriori e posteriori, che il defender non ha mai avuto. Quindi con il centrale bloccato se la ruota anteriore sinistra scivola completamente la destra sta ferma, sta alle ruote posteriori spingerti in avanti, che è quello che fanno fin quando anche una ruota posteriore non scivola totalmente e ferma l'altra. Questo per quanto riguarda il defender perchè il serie 3 non ha nessun blocco non avendo un differenziale centrale, normalmente va in trazione posteriore e poi inserisci il 4x4. Un serie 3 con 4x4 inserito ha le stesse capacità tecniche di un defender con differenziale centrale bloccato.
with lockers it's all easier
Yeah definitely :)
+gabricco Absolutely 👌
