Why does the new Santana Ps 10 have a better stated wading depth and side tilt angle than the Defender 90/110? They are basicly both the same designe, apart from the Santana being closer to a series 3 with parabolic leafsprings. Santana claim a 750mm wading depth and a 40 degree maximum side tilt angle. While the almost identicle except for coils 110 claims 500mm wading and 30 degree side tilt! I seem to remember Land Rover having a better stated tip angle for the 90 in the 80s, was this just because they were taking into account it using 205x16 tires instead of 7.50s, or have they just become more conservative with there figures lately? Or are they just less stable than they used to be?
