Maybe you should invest in some more training - apparently it helps a lot............

WTF have you done to them? i still use my '53 series one every day.
ive done hundereds of thousands of miles in the last 20 years including up and down the M5 from South Molton to Abergavenny once a week for several years, you must be awfully hard on them or either unlucky or a really bad driver

I wouldnt like to turn one over, modern cars are quite robust in this respect Landies aren't unless fitted with an after market roll over bar.

So in this respect Land Rovers are NOT pretty tough.

True but newer ones are a lot better. Then again how often do you turn a car over? The same could be said of things like an Audi A4 convertible!!!

That would be all three then. I keep meaning to buy a good one to keep for a while. Never have them long enough though!

Wouldn't say I was a too bad a driver just maybe expect a 24 year old car to do more than it can.

The 90 was excellent offroad still can't believe what I out it though.

Here, probably 75% of accidents outside town are single vehicle rollovers caused by loss of control at speed and usually on loose gravel - in all sorts of 4x4s not just Land Rovers.

If you have ever seen a flat-packed Defender you won't want to be in one when it happens. They are great vehicles (I have a 110 at the moment and have had several before that) but not when sitting on top of you.

Here's what I mean by flat packed:-

Nasty but I am sure the roof has been cut off that to get the people out.
