ok,
what kind of modifications would one need to make to do this? considereing the conditions are cold, very cold, what kind of things would one need to do?

A wooly hat, scarf, thermal underpants and an ice scraper. Plus a very good phrase book that covers all things that can go wrong with a Landy!

I must admit the idea of going where there is some snow is quite appealing.

I want to do this too...missed this years (its in a few weeks) but next year could be good :)

I think the only thing you really need to think about is snow chains - min 1 set, poss 2 and they have to be good ones, not cheap crap. Then make sure your system has the right oil for low temps and enough antifreeze in the coolant system and screenwash.

Other than that youll be fine as standard apart from needing MT's as a min requirement to enter. Diesel in places where it gets cold has anti-waxing agents in it so when you fill up over there itll handle the cold ok, and also even "winter" diesel in the UK has them to a lesser extent.

and grab youreslf a army land rover cold weather heater top bit of kit to keep your feet warm

Isn't bunging a gallon of petrol also a trick for preventing a tank of diesel waxing  :?:

Eberspacher heater may be useful with it's own battery supply, you could have it on a timer then to come on in the early hours so it's toast when you get in. The one in my last 101 was awesomly hot but had no timer.

Organisers list two sets of appropriate snow chains as a required item on the kit list.
