[Land Rover versus Sprinter/LT35/Daily 4x4]

My Brother in law has a merc 4x4 sprinter which he uses for his forestry engerneering company, he had a county transit as well before the merc but the merc is much better and comfier. Its always overloaded with tools and parts and travels on road really well and also does lots of heavy towing as well, It always seems to get around pretty well in the woods and they are always getting it stuck in stupid places were they shouldnt be going with a 4x4, The only issue i found was when it was empty it was like driving a nodding donkey along the road bit bouncy oh and finding decent tyres that will fit and are weight rated so they have more grip off road. He is thinking of selling it to get a newer one in the near future

Brilliant company sent out items very quickly and very competitive on price

[where to buy parts?]

Dunsfold Landrovers are normally good suppliers of most parts or can advise just depends on who you talk to there, or mail order 4x4 have been quite good in the past

[Michelin 4x4 O/R]

We have them on our 130 at work which does a lot of road work and at this time of year alot of off road accross fields loaded and unloaded, they do hold the road quite well as i do tend to drive it too hard and even with 150 hay on and in trailer it can lose grip up hills on tarmac, and get a little bit of wheel spin on the front end. But they seem to handle 1.5tons plus when we over load it
