Off-Road Driving Manual: Step-by-step instruction for all terrains

I saw this book and it essentially contains all of the articles and techniques Vince Cobley has written in Land Rover magazines, so all good stuff - well written, informative,, easy to read and follow, and with good pictures and illustrations. delivery was pretty quick and it was well packaged. The only issue I would take is the seller’s description of it as being in good used condition; it wasn’t - it was in absolutely excellent condition! It was unread, unmarked, and looked new and fresh out of the bookshop. In fact, if it wasn’t for the Bromley Library’s stickers inside, you’d never know that it was pre-owned. Terrific bargain and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Written by two of the 'gurus' of off-road driving, this book is not just for beginners - there's a lot of very useful and detailed information, all very well illustrated with good quality, freshly taken pictures. The book covers the essentials, and it's pleasing to note that that there is thread throughout emphasising responsible recreational driving. Like all Haynes publications, it's well-laid out and can be dipped into as well as read as a book. The writing style of Philips and Cobley is refreshing and their enthusiasm shines through. Although aimed at and principally about Land Rovers, other marques do get a mention. The book also deals with the practicalities and capabilities of more modern, electronically assisted vehicles - so not just for Defender drivers! Thoroughly recommended.

Very nice offroading book that mainly focuses on Land Rover trucks. Easy to read with nice pictures.

Having completed two days intensive off road training. I wanted something to reinforce that training and act as a reference book. This fulfils that role well.Had problems with delivery as the carrier had recorded the book as delivered when in fact they had not delivered it. When the book was eventually delivered the packaging was very dusty as though it had been sliding around the van floor.

Purchased as a gift, well laid out with numerous illustrations and lots of information, to get a budding mud plugger started.

This book is a thoroughly good read and is a great resource to come back to for a refresher or to make sound choices for vehicle off-road prepping and equipment.

This is a well put together off road driving manual.

A good title and on contrary of others Haynes editions not an old one. Plentifull use of colour shows it.

This used book was exactly as described. I had been looking for the title for some time and was so glad to find a reasonable price for one. Great seller!

I bought this book to complement Tom Shepperd's Off-roader driving. It is a good book covering most aspects of off-road driving and also covers modern computer managed driving aids installed on modern vehicles with specific instruction on how and when to use them. It has good photographs. It is, like the other book, written for a British audience and conditions, and illustrated by Land Rovers, not specific to the Jeeps and pick-up trucks used predominantely in N America.

Además de tener unas fotografías muy buenas, el libro muestra claramente información de utilidad, tanto para los experimentados como para los que empiezan en el todo terreno. El lenguaje se sigue sin problema (ojo que está en inglés) y es muy didáctico. Especialmente indicado para amantes de Land Rover, aunque válido para otros todo terrenos.

Auf der Suche nach Offroad-Fahrbüchern, kommt man nicht drumherum englische Literatur zu kaufen. Dieses Buch aus UK ist reich bebildert und gut geschrieben. Man merkt den Autoren ihre Erfahrung an und kann allerlei Hilfreiches darin finden. Für einen Profi ist das Buch sicher uninteressant, aber für den Einsteiger ein tolles Werk. Bei allen Teilen und Tipps zu den verschiedenen Untergründen, auf die man beim Offroad-Fahren stossen kann, wird versucht die verschiedenen Fahrzeug-Typen zu berücksichtigen: ältere Modelle mit manuellen Differenzialen, moderne mit Traktionshilfen, manuell geschaltete und Automatik-Modelle. Da das Buch aus UK kommt, ist es natürlich Landrover-lastig, aber man kann die Tipps ohne Probleme auch auf andere Modelle des weltweiten Automarktes übertragen.Ein tolles Buch, gerade wenn man neu ist in der Materie.

Just what I needed great book arrived promptly
