I am not aware of a setting which lowers the car at high speeds.
Ha ha ha:D
No Chris, I found out that that lowering is only set to activate automatically when you're below the high tide line on a soft sandy beach!
Not a bad effort - but you've gotta do some more to be impressive. My old 92 Defender 200tDi used to do 150km/h up here in the NT - if you wound it up for long enough :D
Mind you the high range in the transfer case was changed to Discovery gears as the Defender ones wind out too quick!:p
I have got myself one question though - what speed rating is your tyres? I know my old muddies used to be 160km/h, but a lot of people up here in the NT get caught out by that!:(
The Euro guys reckon it lowers over 160kph but only after 30sec or something like that.Quote:

hmm, my old '83 swb Patrol
with the mighty 2.8 L series
was good for 159 and a half kph
mates 84 lwb with the same donk would round it up and go past!!:D
hmm

Surely it was a GPS error?

If we are getting into bragging rites - my 200,000km L series freelander with only 70kw on tap will do 160, so a D3 doing 160 is nuffin.
