Land Rover P400E Defender - Challenging Terrain | Fifth Gear

That should be able to climb a kerb in Waitrose carpark 😂

It might sink in south east Asia

Yes, it’s very clever…..until it inevitably breaks down resulting in a huge repair bill

EV’s are produced by fairies 🧚‍♀️
And no pollution is made in manufacturing them or disposing them

Land Rover really lost there way with this Defender , they are losing sales to the double cab pickups

Next time can we see Vicky in her underpants?

Sid looks like hes doesn't want to be there

I didn't know the SAS sergeant from Call of duty on my PS5 did car reviews? Not bad.

I've just been reading about how problematic recovering a Defender is, if it's in a truly offroad situation. Its owner's manual is very enlightening.

"The vehicle should not be towed on all four wheels and should not be recovered with the front or rear wheels suspended. Doing so can result in serious transmission damage. The method for recovery and/or transportation of the vehicle is on a transporter or trailer designed for that purpose."

"The recovery agent must activate the transmission park release before recovery commences. The procedure for activating the transmission park release is covered in a separate publication for service personnel."

If you don't, the following happens:

"If Neutral (N) is selected and the engine is then switched off, the transmission automatically selects Park (P) after 10 minutes has elapsed. If the transmission park release mechanism has not been activated and the vehicle is being towed, serious damage to the transmission will result."

"If the vehicle cannot be recovered via the correct method, the vehicle can be towed on all four wheels for a short distance."

" Do not tow the vehicle for more than 50 km (30 miles). Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Towing for a greater distance or at a higher speed may result in serious damage to the transmission."

So you can only go offroad to places that are within 50-ish km of access to a flatbed truck. ...  but you can't even go that far unless you've learnt how to activate the transmission park release.

" Only tow the vehicle in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in a reverse direction, or with only two wheels on the ground, will cause serious damage to the transmission."

What if pulling it out backwards is the only access to where it's stuck?

" Do not tow the vehicle if the transmission cannot be set in Neutral (N)."

"Do not tow the vehicle if the rear electronic differential has failed in the locked position."

Crikey. With electrics that shut down the whole vehicle at the drop off a hat, how on earth does all THAT make it a good choice for serious offroading? Australia? Any continent except Europe? Hmm...

The new defender is made by Tata motors. They don’t care about the real land rover fans. Grenadier was made by a man who loves the spirit of the original land rover. Just saying

wot, no AA recovery truck?

The charming humble defender 90 was the farmers best friend....now £92k and upwards you ain't seeing these on farms no longer....crazy world we live in now...crazy!!!

There's a lot to go wrong there and it will.

Sid North! Welcome.

How much?! For flip sake!! Insane! Okay a hybrid is tolerable compared to an EV.

Now that EV sales are down, VAG are cutting back production of EVs, EVs are catching fire on ships etc. Lithium is a dirty and dangerous supply chain, now licences have been granted to rape the sea beds for it, as yet there's nowhere to recycle lithium batteries etc. CCP made batteries and chargers are burning down houses, EV buses, fire tenders etc are blowing up etc etc. So now that my once beloved FG has gone all woke and EV and Carbon Climate Change theory plus EVs are deeply flawed, what will FGR do now?

Not one proper motoring journo left on the programme (even those have sold their souls apparently) as I've never heard the current batch question; lithium, the dirty supply chains, lack of recycling facilities, the dangers, the costs, the whole life costs, flawed Carbon Climate Change theory etc etc. Is that because they've sold their souls to advertiser's and sponsors?

Used to be a really good programme but they seemed to let all the decent journos go, or did they jump from a sinking ship? Such a waste.

No decent consumer based motoring shows left, just EV advertising masquerading as such, shame on you FGR!🤕🤒😤👎👎👎

Challenging terrain? You're having a laugh; any old Landie would have cruised through that with one hand tied behind its back.

Terrible review of an awesome car.

I was all set to watch this, until he said plug in hybrid!

THE CAR WORLDS VERSION OF A BINATONE RADIO.

ITGOBANGROVER MOUNTBATTEN. you need to buy the wife a TOYOTA so she can tow you home.

Clueless about the off-road settings and how to wade through water.

looks like a brick tbh

Why is it it’s the third owner that ever uses the car properly. My disco 3 is now being used. Thanks to fashion he real users get them affordable.

Worst thing I’ve ever watched

Very silly episode. What happened to the original 5th Gear?
And a 2.6 tonne EV is as stupid as its price tag. Literally a ‘Great White Elephant’.

Is he stoned?

I feel like time's up for Fifth Gear. Just not as good compared to other car shows. Sorry not sorry.

low range - rock crawl on what is basically a paved road 😂😂😂

ay it's sideways Sid 😎

Both hands on the wheel and fingers and thumbs on the outside. If you catch a rock and the wheel spins you break a digit.

Crap

when is this guy gonna realize he is not wolverine lol

Hands up all the moaners below who have actually driven a Defender P400e?

where is richard hamond, jeremy clarson and james may

Bring back Tiff. Who are these no marks?

Ok well that’s some stupid facial hair

Could do the same in a 50 years old Series II Land Rover...

Ev, waste of time .

More a music show

Agree this program now boring and smug

It’s £100 grand 😢 are you kidding

I'm seeing the old top gear shots...

Maaaaaan that was a boring watch

Wonder what the residuals are on this ? with the reliability thrown in ? Wha=ts the MPG when the battery is flat?

My 1978 2 door Range Rover will do that easy.

Too much silly tech to spoil real driving experience. Understandable, they wont sell otherwise like chinese products.

2.5 Tonns, no wonder it needs 400HP,

A Jimny will get you to the same places for much less money.

Christ, every presenter is worst than the last. I don’t think Fifth Gear is for me anymore tbh
