Ah, it was just the 3771’s but genuine LR items from PA Blanchards. The 3772 didn’t show up on a search but now I know they exist, I’ll bear them in mind if these aren’t enough.

Another G4 110 owner also has the helper springs on the rear which may be the way to go if the rear remains too soft.

Tangiers is a good colour, I was talking to Nick Dimbleby who was the official photographer on the challenges and he said its just one of those colours that looks good or stands out in most environments.
You never lose it in a car park!

You're welcome The helper springs only really begin to engage when there is a lot of weight on the back, a roof tent wouldn't be enough. You'd need a trailer, full back end and a roof tent I expect. Helpers are RRC3266 by the way. It is the valving of the shock absorber that has more effect on the "softness" of the general ride quality, if it is valved to high it would feel like you were driving on bricks no matter what the springs are you have fitted. Non-LR versions begin at £30/shock so not dreadfully expensive.

ND is not wrong, there are not many environments you could miss the Tangiers Orange 110 in Camouflaged it is not, apart from in front of a stand of orange tango bottles I suppose...

Ah, that makes sense now about the valving. Well, coming back from Cumbria yesterday, I followed the Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue 110 across Birker Fell and down through the Duddon Valley. These are superb little roads but they also gave me the opportunity to see how a heavily laden 110 sat and rolled, from what I could see ahead mine felt to be behaving in the same manner. The ride is very comfortable now and the ARB’s are doing a good job of keeping things in check.

I’m off over the Pennines today to another test and I’ll be joining a few other G4 110’s so I can compare notes 👍
