WHICH ONES? The Discovery? NO! The Defender 90? Yes! The 108? YES YES! The Range Rover...well, the 4.6, though a nice yuppie vehicle, does not get good traction in the snow becuase of its quite wide tires...so if it's a 4.0...yes, a 4.6...may be. > The Discovery > is just a different body on the exact same platform as the Defender. I don't believe that's true...so you have documentation on this? I have driven RRs and LRs for 20 years, and belong to many a RR group...and no one has ever mentioned that. > In > fact, you can interchange engine, drivetrain, and suspension parts between > them! Some parts, yes...but engine and some of the drive train isn't indicative of the vehicle. I think suspension is entirely different. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
