yes BFA turbo diesel is fun RLC had kittens when they were first introduces as all up weight means they need an HGV licence (wonder how many MVT will fall foul of that).

Just had a browse and found an image of a Land Rover with the new rear mounted spare wheel.

The photo is of a "cast" Landy as it was available for auction at Withams and no longer M.O.D.

Intersting they just don't under sling them, OZ LR Perentie had mounted underneath.

ADF is moving away from LandRover as they pulled out due to weight carrying requirements, in it's place we are starting to get Mercerdes Benz G wagons 4x4 & 6x6 plus new LRPV for NorForce etc

Yeah, but from the looks of things it's designed to be more at home in Guildford than on Salisbury Plain.
