I couldn't help notice how easily you Freelander V6 coped with the axle twister, you even stopped for a photo opertunity
what did surprise me was how easy to tratters got stuck!

What's the stench then? It's either fantastic driving or a fantastic Freelander. Could be both.I couldn't help notice how easily you Freelander V6 coped with the axle twister, you even stopped for a photo opertunity
Traction control helps loads by pulse braking spinning wheels to allow power to wheels with grip, rather than wheels without grip or in the air. The vcu would also lock up and power the rear wheels so drive is available to all wheels if needed. Add in the light weight of the Freelander with soft-ish suspension so it doesn't bounce oft the twister as it rocks from side to side, and you have a winning combination.
Don't know why I'm telling yer this. Yer got one of yer own.
With Freelanders being so crap (that's what most non Freelander owners say), it does make yer wonder how it can drive itself out of this. Could be magic?

I do as you know have my own which just happens to be exactly the same as yours
Off road it's pretty good especially when a wheel is in the air. The vcu does a better job than a locked diff in some situations as it sends the power to the rear but allows bit of slip between the axles, this keeps the tyres from skipping as would happen with a locked center diff. The TC does what it's supposed to acting on all 4 wheels simultaneously if needed. In all they ain't to bad when it matters.

And nothing - It's good to see that other owners can explore their "pink" side...

now now girls and boys why all the anger at one another we all love our own vehicles for one reason or another without one another they would be no landyzone so lets keep the peace after all what would we discuss if it was not landies

But if we was all nice to each other (and to Freelanders) this forum would be boring like the other Landy ones
And my pig does not smell bad

We are going laning tomorrow, wonder how many Freelanders are coming
In fact I have never seen a Freelander on the trips, suppose they must meet in secret, too ashamed to bring them out in public

Have you found where your wading plugs go yet?
Don't know about the trip tomorrow, but you made it quite clear that freelanders weren't welcome on the Dales weekend.
So please tell me why I would want to go laning with you?
thought it was mine!

james you can lift it as high as you want but, the wheels won't touch the floor i.e. ramps,crane or bollards in a supermarket(pictures of gaylander parking)

They won't come because a real 4x4 will show up those freelanders.

I think too many Freelander owners would be put oft by the comments on lz against Freelanders and their owners. Which is a shame but that's life. We could arrange our own meeting and you could come along as an honorary Freelanderer.We are going laning tomorrow, wonder how many Freelanders are coming

m8 do agree did plains with series and james martin great day, freelanders could have done the day as ther is always a way round the really rutted stuff. I followed series in a gung ho fashion, nearly getting unstuck. But that was my choice. Td5 disco standard road tyres. Even james give me the you sure face a few time but at least mine did not leak oil. James did you ever find that leak
