I can't fault my sport does things a disco will :!:

remember the Peak District trip, the fronties did what one of the discos couldnt

I would say the swb is slightly better offroad because of the breakover angle advantage

frontera site i thought this was for discoverys wouldn't touch a frontera terrible things :axe:

Honestly i had my fronty while i was going to look for a discovery but ended up keeping it a very impresive vheicle and easy to maintain some times

Bought mine for work originally then decided to keep it when I changed occupations and discovered greenlaning/offroading havent looked back since.

Iv been plenty of places that well known makes of 4x4 havent been and been stuck in plenty of places well known makes of 4x4 have been stuck too.

For the money you cant buy a better 4x4 for all occasions. Long wheel base is more comfortable on and offroad but the shorty is far more agile and manoeuvrable although a little lacking in grunt unless you go for a 2.8 or 2.5 diseisel.

A series coil sprung is probably the best bet for offroading and the later B series is probably better for laning with but thats just my personal opinion as both are equally capable but the B just seems more at home on the road to me.
