Great video clip, too.

The smile on your face says it all, well done.

I was a bit worried that my CDL (mine has the cable) wasn't working properly but had so much fun! I think traction control does its thing always regardless of cdl does it? Disco made so many fans!

Correct - the traction control does not need the CDL engaged to work. But with CDL engaged this will help where you have different grip levels between front and rear.

Next time you get to try that sort of obstacle again - try with and without CDL engaged so you familiarise yourself with the difference.

The negative of traction control is it can kill momentum.

If you weren't in SA, and I wasn't old enough to be your grandfather, I would be stalking you, just to steal your smile. You are astonishing.

OK, "stalking" might have been a bit weird.

No, I knew it was you posting.

You are, without doubt, a force of nature, Leonnie! ( Apologies for sounding like Simon Cowell ). Could you not find a more powerful term for your number plate? Tenacious just doesn't cover it.

You and Douglas Bader would have got on.

But she already has learnt to fly a Spitfire. Surprised? Not me.


I hope you are better looking than Simon Cowell, tins.

Ooh I can test that here at home! It's been a long time since I've engaged CDL!

…just try not to break it. But if you do - we all expect photos (or videos).

[Epic_Dragon]

Haha! If I break it it will be something awesome.

The CDL light doesn't come on in the dash when I engage CDL so not sure if its just light not working or of it isn't engaging properly. I'm not sure how to see to check it. Mine does have cdl cable mod fitted.

a It is either a bulb.

b Switch, on the box. (Faulty or crappy contacts. (If it has spade terminals something has slipped off)

c Optng cable needs adjusting & inspecting.

d fault in the power cable (Open circuited)


e. Really sounds like a trip to Ad. Hills Auto for a proper analysis. Again.


Was it ok during your "Desert" travels recently? If so, I would be looking at (b) & go from there.


Good luck with that.

The light went out early last year randomly, one time doing in muddy paddock at home. I'm not sure if cdl engaged correctly on my trip or not as a few obstacles it seemed like back wheels weren't pushing like I'd expected them to when front in air, but I can't remember what it used to feel like
