hello

earlier in the week i drove a new disco 4 with 200 miles on it... at LRE stipton.

the car was auto and wen goin up hill or down it uses the traction control or HDC... which i must say works great and you feel you have control of the car...

Today me and my dad took his disco 2 off road at ny 4x4 centre.. his is also a auto and has traction and HDC.. that worked well aswell goin up on down hill with normal tyres on it...

now my car is a disco 1 200 tdi MANUAL !? i havent tried goin off roadin yet but was thinkin that would my car (disco1) have less control then the other 2, with traction control ??? goin up or down hill ???

or would the engine brakin help me wen cumin down ? and wud i need a little bit more speed to get up a hill !!

wasnt sure to put it in disco or off road section so i put it in both ???:eek:

cheers in advance
anthony

P.s
here is a clip for the LRE in disco 4 if u want to have a butchers ! (nwt major tho)

You will be surpised how capable a 200 is offroad....no it doesn't have TC or HDC but it does have a Central Diff lock......and that's what Defenders have been using for years and years and look how good they are off road...
I have a D2 with a CDL, HDC and TC and traction is very impressive with the CDL and TC. Mine is a manual TD5 and engine breaking in low box in 1st decending is VERY good, I get alot more engine breaking than my mates do in their D2 Auto's.... the HDC can is also very good when going down very steep and slippery decents....BUT I could live without it.
