40% of people in the poll reckon they use it and like it. But all the posts seem to be luke warm to hate. Aren't the people that like it prepared to say it in public?:D;):p

I have only had my car about 4 months & have used it a few times & quite like it. Again, it's not for rutted out tracks with huge boulders everywhere but for mild slopes that aren't too rough. if you use it on these kind of hills, you can go down & enjoy the scenery a bit more & less stress on your leg. my 2c worth.
Found this in RAVE, seems my earlier speed estimates were out a bit, but then again those figures were from practical experience and memory, the latter of which is virtually useless these days .:eek:
I gotta say though, I reckon these are way too high, the HDC seems much much slower in practice than the 7kph shown in the table.

That is how I would use mine, I put "Sometimes but gives me the willies" used properly it is fine but in most situations I will keep it off.Quote:

Only use mine to operate the shuttle valves.
Too fast for me.

I'm a goose.. I voted. I only have manual HDC. :eek::eek: You might consider one vote less for option 2 :eek::D:D
Thought it time to operate the valves on mine this arvo and yeah - bit too fast I reckon.Quote:

maybe the poll should have differentiated between diesel and petrol
that would have an impact on the “engine braking” capacity of the vehicle?
in my post I meant leaving it in drive not neutral. I have experienced running away in an auto...they tend to have less engine braking than a manual...its the old saying manuals for down hills, autos for up hills.
Anyway I still dont understand what the instructor was on about.
