I tend not to use hdc. I prefer to go slowly using the brakes slightly, down hill if I need to control speed. It's not advised to do this in oft road training or the guide but if yer realistic about yer driving then you know if it's within yer limits or not.

Nice to see her taking it oft road.

Would have got stuck ? What, on that little embankment in the pics ? It's not even worth the effort of pressing the HDC and certainly not any sort of challenge for the Freelander.
Tell you what, take the Freelander out yourself one day. You really will be surprised with it. You don't need to give it as much welly as the 110 either , but it should still go where you want it to go. Except deep ruts. It'll need a lift kit for that.

Why doesn't the HDC work, is it the wiring to the switch or something deeper?

Not been off road with mine yet but I've "played" with the HDC on some stupidly steep hills near home. It's odd crawling down hill with no feet on the pedals.

not sure TBH i think a green freelander symbol flashes up randomly along with a tc symbol,its either green or yellow will have to ask the mrs,its not showing any stored faults according to our mechanic but she said when you press in the yellow switch in first or reverse nothing lights up on the dash
