I would think so kerms? I thought it was in all of them, one of its pioneering characteristics along with the rib crushing brakesI've not found any hills to go down in low box yet. Does you have the hdc module fitted?
I'm incorrect, sorry kermy.. I thought these had hdc? It's a primitive version which lead to the later named hdc program. Well, whatever it's called in ours it works pretty damn good.I've not found any hills to go down in low box yet. Does you have the hdc module fitted?
From what I've read so far, HDC was first seen on the Freelander So same time period as the p38I'm incorrect, sorry kermy.. I thought these had hdc? It's a primitive version which lead to the later named hdc program. Well, whatever it's called in ours it works pretty damn good.
I live on a very steep hill and in the snow took mine down without any bother at all. Much to the envy of the 2 Nissan Dukes on out street
Hooptie: beater, clunker, heap, jalopy, lemon, ramshackle, wreck, shed, banger, beater, rust bucket, death trap, disaster on wheels, or sh!tbox.
You mean it's not an ideal purchase then?

I have been driving my mates 2015 L405 TDV8 Autobiography this weekend. He felt sorry for me so dropped it off Saturday morning and threw me the keys and said its got a full tank go " Enjoy ". LOL. So guess what ive been driving around in this weekend!!! LOL. Its lovely and absolutely loaded to the hilt. He bought it from Stafford Landrover in 2016 when it was just 1 year old and 3000 miles on the clock being the dealership principles demo car. Original bill of sale shows £115000!!!!!!!!!! new with all its options. My friend paid £75000 for it and traded his Disco in on it. He is 2nd owner and has owned it to date and loves it and it has just 59000 miles on the clock now and is always fully serviced by dealer each year and he said it has NEVER failed him EVER in the 5 years he has owned it. Not sure if he gave it to me for the weekend as a mate or as a mate wanting to sell it me!! LOL. He has not said or implied that BUT i might ask him later when i drop it back to him if he wants to sell it as i know he likes those new shape Defenders.
Its Black with a lovely 2 tone interior and fully loaded and he has always kept it immaculate. TDV8 engine super smooth and i was getting 43 mpg the other day on the M4. Sadly its bloody £585 a year to tax which i hate but i suppose it comes with owning one.
I can see myself in one of these L405's now. Its bloody gorgeous.
Anyone got one or know much about them???

Throw it on the floor, then you'll understand how it should have come aparttrying to split the LPG vaporiser as the gasket was leaking.. drilled the screws out.. still can't split it
lesson learnt....
tried thatThrow it on the floor, then you'll understand how it should have come apart
tried using a screwdriver as a wedge..
even tried swearing
the freeeeeeking thing was leaking coolant, it can't be THAT stuck together :'(
Is it expensive to replace kerms, is there a more efficient version available possibly?
they start at £75 and up, car fitted with 2 but i'm not sure why as they are both rated at 190hp, wonder if i can get away with running just one?
Ooh, couldn't say kermy. Maybe some who knows a bit about them could tell you better...

I will be putting my P38 stuff on ebay soon so maybe i might look at one of these L405's or maybe NOT. LOL.
Bloody expensive to buy still they are and then you have to find a good one. I am just waiting for my mate to ring me to see how much i enjoyed it over the weekend. LOL.
