Slight mishap when a track gave way.

[Donald Topping]

A hidden rabbit burrow under the track gave way once I drove over it

He should have turned right at Albuqurque!!

Bloody Landrover drivers will use any excuse to hide a suspension failure

I have had the same issue twice on the side of a hill with a wombat hole. Nearly rolled the vehicle and had to winch out

Must have been one hell of a bunny.

 

[Donald Topping]

Extra embarrassment, got pulled out by an ML63 Mercedes.

The whole area is pretty much sand, packed tight on the tracks, but the recent rains have softened it somewhat.

Rofl, yep, that suspension was maxed out. and still only had 2 wheels on solid ground.

Yep, I should have taken the high road instead of the low road.

It came out fairly easily, shovel a smooth line behind the rear wheel, fill the hole with trees, I mean broken branches, and dragged it with a chain.
A bit of bruising on the front flare and a broken rear mudflap. Lucky there wasn't more damage I am thinking.

 

[Donald Topping]

Saved by an ML63.

 

[Toyasaurus]

That would be embarrassing.

 

[Donald Topping]

That would be embarrassing.

It was, very embarrassing.

Welcome to Earth.
Welcome to LR
Welcome to LR ownership and rabbit holes,.

 

[Donald Topping]

Landrover Disco 4s are not rated for bunny holes. I think millipede holes are within spec for occasional use.

Thats alright then, its a Disco 3 so bunny holes must be way too much lol.

I've had some embarrassing situations for minor issues too. I think we all have.

I tried hiding my whole LR in a puddle once.
Didn`t work.

As if it's not embarrassing enough driving a LR - getting rescued by a Merc

 

[Donald Topping]

That Merc is actually pretty capable on and off road, but its no Disco. I have driven it both on and off road in pretty soft sand, it certainly held its own. And on road, well the AMG really shines when that 6.2 lt V8 roars.
