Perhaps you have exceptionally efficient brakes on the van. Ps just thought you have it set on electric not electric over hydraulic ??

To be clear, proportional in this context is proportional deceleration (G-forces), not proportional to the preset limit. A high limit does not change the gentle braking voltage, only the maximum that the controller will provide because the limit is there to prevent wheel lockup which obviously varies between vans or for the same van on different surfaces. Higher or lower voltages for gentle braking is achieved using the boost option.

My van has electric brakes. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the brakes on smaller vans are all electric rather than electric over hydraulic.

I suspect this topic needs its own thread if it is to continue.

Did another test using P3 diagnostic option

All looked ok except output current which was low

Has anybody found a roof console for Discovery 4's yet? Something that can connect the centre light and rear air conditioning controls? I'm thinking this could potentially be a good place to mount a UHF.

Have you purchased your UHF yet, if not, why not go down the path with a remote head unit.

I personally would not use a roof console if they made one...I am not sure if it would look right in a modern vehicle.

Need some advice...
Should I consider a new MY 14 or a run-off MY 13 Disco? I would love the MY 14 but what is the price difference between the two? I am considering the SE trim.

Thanks!

Hey mate,

You can pick up a MY13 Run-out, unregistered, no Ks, in SE Trim with some extras for under $85K.

How does that stack against the new MY14 prices? I think you have missed the Factory subsidised Main Event, so prices will be back to 'normal'.

When I looked, MY13 made perfect sense as MY14 prices were just too rich for me.

Cheers,

Kev.

I agree. Get a brand new MY13 and save heaps. No matter what car you get, it won't be brand new for long and there will always be a better/newer one around the corner. You'll be stoked with the 13 anyway.
Unless your company is paying for it, in which case, go for everything you can!

I'll agree there the new features of the my14 look great but everytime I get in my my13 I don't really care everytime I see it washed and cleaned love it plus I saved about $14k in prices so it made it worth while.
