    Traction Control let me see?????

    Well, traction control isn't a spell checker nor is it something used by hospitals to suspend weights on patient broken limbs either.

    Its a electronic device that turns your brakes on and off to slow you down or give wheel traction when its lost drive when the other wheel is in the air to keep you moving

    Of course you could read all about it in your owner manual of course but then people couldn't get the pleasure of playing 20 questions with you

    After you bought it, from where was it brought?

    If you don't know what traction control is then why did you buy it...... Best you resell it to me for a cheap price, I'll take it off your hands
    Seriously nice vehicle. enjoy

    Sorry Ron, but it was a good retort.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    sorry to have annoyed soo many people with my question. I'm Wallies missus, bought the disco cause it is a 7 seater and can fit all kids comfortably.

    Asked what traction control is cause my man tried explaining it to me and I still didn't fully understand. Thought the forum was used for helping out other land rover owners which I now am and I am very happy with my purchase...........

    I needed a laugh from the response and your final reply, thanks. Anyway it stops the wheels spinning before you know they are spinning and keeps the car behaving as you would expect and not going sideways etc. I hope this helps.
