Thread: Spat the dummy

Use it as you normally would. Right side (high range) generally for on road, and left (low range) generally for off road.

In saying that, low range should really only be required for climbing up or down steep grades at lower speeds.

Sounds like you haven't done much off roading yet... you might want to read the owners manual about how to engage low (and back to high) and suggested conditions for when to do this.

If you want to get closer to how your p38 functions it would be a good idea to tag along on an AULRO drive day with some more experienced owners. And ask a lot of questions...

Dont forget to lock the EAS when towing.

Thanks for the reply mate. You are spot on. We have not done any offroading before and I just wasn't sure as I have heard that these babies town real easy like. However, when I brought the van home last night I could definitely tell it was on the back as I went up hills, and its not a big van. Would love to go on a run at some stage as the people on this site ROCK!! Porchy

If you aren't committed to the location for camping there is an AULRO Weekender at wombat state park this long weekend. You would be able to get some really good experience from it and pretty sure vans can get in easy. And the people are really nice/friendly.

Either way, have a good read of your owners manual before mucking around with high/low range too much... Not that you would hurt it, it basically just slows everything down in low range.

All I know is that this bloke was/is located around the Frankston area and has a name along the lines or JRR....... which I think was meant to be Jaguar/Range Rover specialist.

I found a receipt for the RWC done on the car and it had the actual mechanics name on it. Again, I don't do this lightly, but with the disgusting mess that was made of our car it seems only fair to warn other Land Rover lovers. Now I am sure that some have had good dealings with this guy (as I have seen him recommended on other forums - for price but no mention of quality) but if you had seen the damage done to mine you would think twice about having him do anything that you can't actually see.
