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.

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.

No pics just Video...I have been able to download it to the computer and made a DVD albeit the quality isnt quite as good as playing the Mini DV straight to the TV. Now I just have to work out how to load it to Youtube (I dont think there is another way to load it up) and then I would stick a link here.

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

Cheers

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.

Driver mentality not vehicle.

I suspect its because of the weight combined with low slung diffs is part of it. Driver mentality - yep probably because all their mates reckon you cant go past a GU

Then there is the gearing and torque curves...the big petrol 6 in the GU isnt as torquey off the mark as you would reckon for such a big donk, although the 4.2TD would be pretty flash off idle.

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.
