Thread: Patrol vs Isuzu County with a twist

Excellent.

Great vid,
Was that running at idle in 2nd low? Isn't that something that destroys gearboxes with these engines?

The 'torque impulse' at idle is more of a long term problem. There's been plenty of discussion about that on the forum. I wouldn't worry about it in this sort of situation.

only if you do it for prolonged periods.

Landrover doing with simplicity what ford had to develop "electronic Stall control" to do in a vehicle that could already do what was required.

doing it to show up nissan/toyota/ford/jeep owners is perfectly acceptable and something I actively encourage.

No one in the drivers seat?????

Thanks Murray, Dave,
I've cringed every time I've accidently laboured mine to sub-idle speeds, would have been stuck accelerator-deep in a puddle yesterday if it wasn't for the engine's determination

Ha ha, you just can't stop a good Isuzu Landy, even with no-one behind the wheel.

I've often seen Isuzu Landys 'chugging' over a crest of a sand dune or similar situation where many other engines would have just stalled. The driver of the blue County in the clip is well known for his policy of "Never take your foot off the accelerator unless you have actually ceased forward motion"
