    Default Help! I flipped my rover!

    Yep, its true. I flipped my rover upside down. 180-ed off the road and into a ditch and it roled over, coming to a stop on its backside. Not all is lost though...Besides a few body issues, things seem to be ok. The engine compartment is completely fine. This is a 2000 Discovery series II. Believe it or not this has happened before! Last time I was told not to try to start it before pulling the plugs and something else. Last time it ran fine afterwards. Any input for the best way to put "Humpty Dumpty" back together would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Ditto...or don't go beyond the incline capabilities... Glad to hear (I hope) that no one was hurt...this time.

    Stay in the middle of your lane, mind the potholes, keep the horizon in view, maintain speeds that suit the terrain (keep to posted speed limits, too!)
