Thread: Anti-stall - bypass

I reckon the idle up is real pain if you want to go real slow like when following up slow livestock or collecting hay bales, the manually operated hand throttle on my old toytroopy was much better.

It is good when tackling steep uphills, but there are times when it would be good to turn it off!

Hang on here...

The low first ratio is lower than anything put in a standard Land Rover to date.

How slow do you want to go...you can get out of the vehicle and walk slowly beside it going up a steep hill.

I challenge any other Land Rover to do that governor or hand throttle including.

Going down hill is another matter although I haven't experienced this adversely yet. The Tdi used to require some throttle on really steep slippery down hill to stop the rear end from wanting to take first place

sure done it with fozzy a few times times, Did it in kermit and Bug 2.0 Oh and the old longwheel base I used to run up in darwin rest it soul and it only had the petrol in it...

you forgot about the 4.7's and the other reduction obtained by dropping the tyre pressures down to zip on old school rag tyres. dincha.

I've also driven a LWB backwards with the roof off and the windshield down laying on the bonnet to see where I was going. (and theres witnesses to that)

Nice thing about the old school solution is that it works in all gears at all governable speeds. oh and it lets you up the idle in neutral if you happen to have something hanging off of the PTO or you need to leave the engine sitting and running for prolonged periods because the alternators shot and your battery went flat 2 days ago.

Yes you are right Dave....very heroic I would never doubt that.

But all of those seem like desperate measures...not usually associated with the daily collecting of hay bales or following stock in a standard Land Rover.

nahh no easier way to get across stupidly soft sand and long low angle dunes if you're driving the wagon towing the tinny..

set the choke "everyone out + push the trailer"

also surprisingly usefull in wet clay and on shingle

I am contstantly amused how much time and effort some of you guy's put into slagging the newer models. Would you rather Land Rover stop production of one of the greatest 4wd's of all times? And before you say no just keep the technology out of them. They can't A. they wouldn't pass modern ADR's and B. a lot of people actually like some of the modern additions.

I thought we were here because we love Landy's or do we only love old Landy's and those of us that have the new ones are actually unwelcome gate crashers on this site??

The original thread posed a question if anyone had managed to bypass Anti-stall? Some people put some decent responces up but then the thread got hijacked by modern Landy haters

I you feel so compelled to hate us, then start up a thread dedicated to it but please stop hijacking threads with serious questions.

Cheers,

John don't take it to heart....when a couple of people that actually OWN them start making comments about how bad all the gizmo's are on it then take it to heart.....

when it comes from other owners it would be worth listening to...its easy to become an expert when you have not driven one or have driven one once or twice and not as an everyday work horse

I still think the best was the Series II.

There was nothing to go wrong in them like timing belts, computers, traction control, door seals, radios, windscreen wipers, door locks, winding window and those radial tyres that all of the city cockys use. Just rubbish they are now. They were the days when you could fix them... because you had to.
