Thread: SDV6 Lag on take-off

Um yeah, so I tried the "Sand Mode' + 'Sport Mode' trick.
That 'fixes' the problem

As others have said, it's not the donk holding you back it's the 'puters.

I notice it more off road.

On road it is there,you get used to it,you learn how to drive to reduce it happening.

Unless you want it to happen.

Off road,either in low or high range,it can be very noticeable at times.
A good example is in the desert.
If you are driving slowly along a corrugated track,revs at around 1000rpm,and then gun it suddenly to get over a dune,lag is very noticeable.

If you do as others say and hit the accelerator gradually it will reduce the lag.
You just drive knowing it is there,and in a way to avoid it.

Aint that the truth Mick, but bloody hell, I'd love to get my hands one one. Just like you, I was very disappointed when LR stopped putting V8's in the Disco.

Me too. Try an up hill snatch recovery!

Oh well Sean, I guess they'll not do a v8 in the next disco and I'll have to get a ffrr and give up some practicality. Many years off yet as mine is barely broken in !

What is this off-road lag ? My problem off-road in low range is whiplash not lag !

That whiplash comes a mili second after the lag.

Hey Mate,


Are you 100% sure it's both in low and high?


Reason I ask, is the last time I was on Fraser Island (MY13 SE), the driving was so easy (lots of rain) I drove mainly around in road settings. However, I got a couple of very prolonged periods of inaction when I went to add some welly up rises on the tracks. I literally had my foot on the firewall for an excessive period of time .... nothing like the lag folks are talking about on road, it was worse by a long shot. I seriously thought that I had an issue with the car. I'd never experienced this in my older 6 speed D4.


However, I can't ever remember driving that car with everything 'turned off' before, whilst off-road..... so I can't say with 100% certainty that it wouldn't have happened.


My point is ... either D4, MY10 or MY13 ... both SE 600nm 3.0L engines never demonstrated any lag or hesitance in low range. Quite the opposite ... they have always felt like a caged Lion.


Cheers,


Kev.

Kev,

Thinking back i am pretty sure,but can also doubt myself.

I noticed it today,we were playing in some mud,i was in high,which actually made me think of this thread.

I can't remember what TR setting i was in either,i used a few different ones.


You are right though,you sort of have to wait for ages,then it all of a sudden goes,then you have to back off to get things under control.

We may go back tomorrow,i will try in low and report back.

Something else i noticed today, as well, was even though i had DSC off,the orange 'DSC operating' light flashed on a couple of times.

For some that may not know there are two DSC lights,one is DSC off,the other that looks similar comes on when the vehicle is operating DSC.

Tomorrow i have to show up the sons Puma…...again
