So it's there to stop the P plater doing 4 wheel burnouts in the 300 TDi Disco, I'll have to rethink lending him the 130 Defender 🤣

You might have 27 years ago, having climbed out of your Series III.

My XF ex taxi, you mean? Yep, it would have been an eye opener. At least the door handles would have worked.... some of the time.

It's just my opinion, but if I was doing an LS conversion I'd go auto...

Surely the 300tdi itself does a pretty good job of preventing burnouts!

For what it's worth, we took the dampener out of this car ages ago, clutch feels the same, and it's easy to bleed.

And it still doesn't do burnouts, but that could be because I brought him up to be a sensible P plater 🤪
