Thread: Defender - broken diff -

well thanks for all the advice, getting a second hand disco part with a 3 month warranty.
think i will just have to drive the fender a bit easer on the up hills let the tc do its job .
any advice on how u would tackle those steep rutted hills, i hate having to reverse down them thanks

Its all practice.

The hardest part about it, is when you think you need to put the boot in to gain some wheel speed because you feel you wont make it, so you end up breaking traction, letting the tyres spin then they catch something and hence the boom. Try raising the right foot, letting the tyres find traction and hold the vehicle constant at that point. This will give you way more control as well as better steering. Its strange but with less pedal the car will be smoother and ascend more quickly! The seems to always work, especially in clay and slippery muddy hills.

Also try wedging your right foot agianst the side of the bulkhead for more control over bumps (this has never worked for me, but has helped others ect)
