You need to read a bit more about the hit-and-run tactics that the Brits *very* successfully used to stall the Nazis in North Africa during WW2. They did very well in heavily armed Jeeps against heavy armor - by raiding rear areas and setting ambushes and then disappearing before the enemy could bring their strength to bear.
Basically, it's turning the terrorists' tactics against them. Let's face it, conventional tactics tend to be a bit ponderous.

I guess I missed the part where the muzzi terrs started using Panzers.
Terrs have no fixed bases, they have no real supply lines (rat lines, yes) they do have some weapons caches, small ones if that, I don't how guys driving around in Land Rovers will do anything other than making themselves a smaller target.
Active patrolling in the city and villages - on foot, is a start....but we don't have the troops to do the job by ourselves - Iraqis will have to step up to the plate, and quick.
