TC working with 'knowledge' that it's moving or not? Extended mode works on what?

Cheers Kev.

For what it is worth, everyone I have spoken to including on driver training days run by LR to advance sand days run by the Range Rover Club say in all off road environs to turn the DSC off.

Has worked for me on sand and all other surfaces, but really the true expert is GGhaggis, what say he !!!

As always my opinion is offered with nothing other than limited personal experience and the anonymity of a keyboard to back it up !!!

So in genuine Rock Crawl situations where you are driving slowly and generally using low end torque and not your higher RPM power (DSC when on seems to restrict my max revs to about 2700 RPM) you would advocate leaving DSC on? I have noticed in some Youtube vids that some cars seem to have good TC response where others it is poor - this may explain that observation. Thanks for the pointers. Garry
