Ah, my goony friend, note the subtle use of inverted commas. Could it be irony? Perhaps aluminiumy might be more appropriate though?;)

Since there seem to be a lot of people on this thread who know f.a. about Land Rovers (and after my earlier post I may have to admit to being one of them) I thought it might help them to distinguish a Series from our beloved Discoveries if I referred to the modern term for a Land Rovery-shaped vehicle, albeit in a post-modern sort of way. Sorry if I upset the purist in you. But actually I don't care very much...:D

Aye on the one hand it's funny. On the other it's flamin sad. How can people expect to be able to drive properly when they don't know how their vehicle works. Oh well never mind. No point getting stressed:D

Overall there are probably more Land Rovers without manually lockable center diffs than with.

All landrovers have difflock except the early disco 2's and some rangies. Only since the 90/110 as above. And then only until 2001, current Range Rovers do not have manaual diff locks, nor does the Discovery 3 or Range Rover Sport D3 & Sports is ****e though and they int proper offroaders. No point referring to vehicles that less than 1% of our members own. I was talking about proper landrovers. not poshboys toys.


NB gaylanders are excluded from the above cos they int proper offroaders and god knows what ****e they have had attached to em. Freelanders also have permanent 4WD. With the right driver thay will often out perform other Land Rovers with the wrong driver, and often surprise those who can drive off road Still ****e though

Thebig stick normally does the gears to do with the clutch. The little stick does the high/low range and onthe other side of the H locks the diff in the gearbox which makes the axles do the same. it does not lock the diffs in the axles themselves.

Gaylanders don't have permanent 4wd they have a viscous coulping which only engages when the two driving wheels loose traction. They are **** on the the road so how are they going to out perform a other landrovers off road.
 
thought they run a very low percentage ratio 85:15 to make them full time 4wd?But i dont got one and no chuff all bout them

Freelanders are permanent 4WD, but the split is variable. on a good hard surface there will be very little drive going to the back wheels, but there is always some.
 
Just out of interest, do u have any control over the split between front n back drive. Oh I love Deependers........
NO computers just levers n gears n stuff.

I had one of the early Freeloaders and it was are actually very good off road, but with severe limitations. Very poor ground clearance, with bits of the underside subject to severe damage. In an emergency rescue on Dartmoor (only vehicle available) I put three dents in the sills and fractured the mounting stay on the under-engine cover, the poor design of which meant replacing the whole cover. Disco would have been fine. The strangest thing about Freelanders is that HDC means you can go down a slope you can't get back up again. For driving around muddy fields without too many rocks it was better than my previous 300TDi (but not as good as the TD5). And it was FAR more reliable than either of them - three years and didn't miss a beat. They're not all bad!:)

No, they're even better than that. It all happens automatically without a computer or lever or switch in sight.
