this is why you own a landrover as opposed to the other breeds, you have a brain.
but the forum rules state, it didnt happen without pics.

Yep, need the video.:)
I just joined these forums, and recently did a trip through the Gnangarra Pine platation in Perth in my 00D2 so htought i would offer my view
The tyres were well down , around 18psi for this trip, and there was little activity from the TC. I did have one moment on a longer climb where i noticed it engaging and it did start to rob power when momentum was needed.
I have noticed the comments re engaging the CDL. My model does not have it, and wondered on what models it was resurrected, or have u guys just reinstalled this feature? Also regarding turning the Tc function off. Is this really possible?

Yours will still have the CDL, its just not connected to the transfer lever. You can buy MY03 tranfer lever assemblies which will reactivate your CDL.Quote:

I havent got that far yet. I will see if my mate has taken some video/pics with his camera also.

PS. As if you fellas really need proof that a Disco outgunned Toyo and Nissans in soft sand!
Actually, I'm really not sure why but Patrols specifically seem to be amazingly poor in sand in my opinion.Quote:

OK here's me going up Big Red in the Simpson, probably not the best example but you get the idea, never got a peep out of the TC.
