Right,

Here is the view from inside my Freelander as I went down that same stretch to the bottom.

So sloooooow compared to the rest of you! And it doesn't look nearly as bad on video as it seemed on the day!

Nice vid though. Cool to see the traction control kicking in when the front wheel was off the ground and getting the other one to drive.

I know some people aren't fans of the electronics, but they do seem to be quite helpful for this sort of thing. The anti-stall felt really weird because if you have your foot off the clutch and accelerator but on the brake, the car still pulls hard against the brake because it's really trying to prevent you from stalling. Once I got used to that though, it meant you could just have left foot on the clutch, right foot on the brake, and entirely ignore the accelerator -- so a bit less to think about.

Funny how the manufacturers are making them more like autos......

Autos rule.

You're right, the video doesn't really show how hard it was.

With this in mind some of the utube stuff I've watched must have been really rough lanes.

Might need to get that diff lock fixed first though

MaxyMan · Aug 20, 2014

I'll have a look next time go out if ya want? see if it's just the linkages be a nice easy fix or if it's the actual transfer box wich I doubt.

That could be fun, I did suggest it on the day, tongue in check mind as I knew my road tyres weren't up to it.
But by the time we go next I should have some BF Goodrich AT's so will stand a better chance.

Em, does the leaver move freely or not at all ?

Um, does sound like the C link could be disconnected or missing, not to hard to fix.
