Might be worthwhile looking into membership as apart from the training there are day trips etc which are a good way to get comfortable with the car and how to use it.

There are other commercial driver training programs as well as the Land Rover Owners Club that do driver training.

Thanks George,

Well that puts GOE off the list then, I should probably have checked that first.

Joining RRC is on my list for sure.

I am also pretty keen to go out on some day trips with Forum members from NSW that have D3's, so I am keeping a watchful eye on the trips section.

I am booked on the Getabout training at Eastern Creek next Wednesday.

I will let you know what it is like.

I'd be interested to see if John can do a D4 specific training; having already done off road training via TLCC, I'm more interested in knowing what tricks are possible in the D4, and also what to look out for.

Yes, but even they recommend the rods and IID Tool together. Calibration only allows 100mm of play in total, and most are set up such that you have just under 50mm increase in height, and much greater decrease.

I did a day with them in Jan 2011 and they did run through the specifics but that was a LR only day. Also spoke with someone who did a general course back in March which was open to any vehicle and they did go through the TR system with him.

I would ask John or Julie directly.

My first attempt at using the TR will be this weekend, heading for a play up to Zig Zag, and maybe a look into Mt Walker.

Going with a Pajero, Patrol and a jacked up Sierra, only going for a play so we won't be getting into anything serious.

That is one awesome looking rig, love all the gear hanging off it.

Great! We are only doing a day trip, should be hitting the dirt around 10am should no hiccups occur. Ill be up there on street tyres in street trim.
If I see your rig I will be the one waving frantically, be great to say hi.

Cheers,
Ben

You seem to have this stuff well understood, so, a couple of questions.

1) Could the IID Tool be used to provide the additional height for 'normal' speed high setting.

2) If the power fuse were to be removed after setting high, would that be retained above the magic drop speed.

ytt105,

Short answer is not sure and note sure.

I try and rely on simple things, as the D3 is complex enough.

That is why I went with the rods, not much can go wrong with then and if it breaks I can fix it. As I do not truly understand how Llams works I would be lost if it failed.

There are others in this forum who would be much better at answering your question regards the IID tool and fuses however I do recall reading somewhere that removing the fuse post putting it in off road would lock it in high but again not sure. !

Oh well I am planning a play around Lithgow/Mt Wlaker on the Saturday 6th July with a mate who has a sport and I have finally encouraged him to take it off road.

Enjoy your trip.
