I mean, why would you bother trying to improve on something as capable as the disco 3?

Hmmm sierras are fun but as mentioned little smallish and ummm high (read rolloverish)

Question:

since a standard Rover (without traction control) has no lsd in rear (like patrols and cruisers) does this make them inferior offroad to those that do?? :oops:
