It was actually very good - despite it being a disco 2
In fact, they really let you test the capability and put it through its paces. I was impressed… and it was running on aired-down road tyres!

They were doing some training there with London Fire Brigade (they do off road training for all the emergency services). They had a new bit of kit… like a jacked up transit on steroids. It looked wrong though… needed bigger wheels. Confirmed when we got back for a mug of tea in the afternoon to hear that one of them had got it stuck!
I nearly offered to go get my hippo 2 and pull it out. But there were sausage sarnies out by then, so….

Then they brought out a trails car for hill climbs. Glad to say I did not hit any gates on my go. Jeez those things can climb, but tricky to get used to with the hand-brakes for traction/downhill. Much fun!!!

More info needed!
Re the Disco 2. Auto or manual? Did it have Centre diff Lock or not? How do you feel the traction control behaved? Ditto the Hill Descent Control?

I've only off-roaded my Disco 1 TDi, manual with cdl. But I do have a Disco 2 auto with CDL not connected up. So my questions are serious.

If you wouldn't mind.
