    RRC Driving Technique/s?

    My original LR training was on Series 1 and 2 many moons ago.
    My MY04 D2a is fitted with 2 TruTracs along with all the standard HDC, TC etc, so basically, apart from tyre pressures, I'm basically a steerer in most situations I might get myself into off road.
    With my recently aquired bucket list MY95 RRC LSE, I have subsequently been lucky enough to score a pair of TruTracs which are currently being fitted.
    As I understand it the standard traction control in the late model RRC is a bit more basic than the D2a and only operates on the back wheels.
    Question - am I likely to notice any or much difference between the two vehicles, and do I need to consider any changes to my driving style. I'm more likely to be involved in sand, gravel,rocks etc, but occassionally mud might enter the equation.
    The LSE also has a 4HP24 auto trans and TD5, with the D2a having the standard 4HP22 auto and TD5.
    Cheers

    I dare say you would notice a difference in the Turning circle!!
    Otherwise, I would reckon they would be reasonably similar......

    Oh yes Gavin, the Turning Circle... You remember my surprise when I turned your D2 ? - and mine is only the 100" Classic, but that's more like a 100 foot boat than a car.... One can only speculate as to what your LSE is going to be like.

    "Queen Mary" springs to mind...

    My old range rover had a detroit locker in the rear and a trutrac up front. My advice is take it easy around corners as you will get torque steer.

    With the larger torque convertori think you'll find a noticable difference. Especially in low range.

    Just watch the ramp over angle. You wouldn't think 8 inches would make a difference but it does!

    Not many lse's left - look after it! !
