I heard only some models had a hi/low box.
Maybe a sport owner or two can help you better with that one
Never mind off roading, Lo range is very useful for reversing the caravan into tight spaces.
True. Although modern autos go pretty slow and you can drive 2 pedal style for more control.Never mind off roading, Lo range is very useful for reversing the caravan into tight spaces.
Agreed though with the P38, I found reversing up a slope difficult with the tin tent, I had to wind the revs up to a ridiculous level before it would move, then it was off like a rocket unless I was very careful. Lots more control in Lo range with just a whisper of throttle needed.
I think that might be more a symptom of the diesel engine and gearbox of that era. The 4.6 p38 is no probs reversing a trailer, even on a slope. Not saying Low isn’t handy. But it is smooth and controllable. But I know what you mean and a Td5 Disco is very similar to what your describe.
Have a relative with a tight driveway up a steep incline and just reversing up in the td6 was like that, tiny bit of power and nothing then bit more and it was 100mph up the drive, fine forwards just reverse. Got used to it but low does give much more control.
Will also say my 4.2sc doesn’t seem to have that issue, different engine and box.
