First time off-road in Discovery - a question

Maybe you have a recent vehicle with traction control which acts like ABS but in reverse, braking wheels which overspeed.

Huw

It is an X-reg 2000 model. Does this make sense?

It is a Discovery 2 then. It is likely to have traction control. It will make the same chattering noise when braking very hard on cow s*it covered Welsh minor roads if it has ABS. AFAIK ABS and TC come as a package on Disco11.

In one of my lives I am occasionally responsible for the s*it. LOL

Hwyl fawr a noswaeth dda,

Huw

Thanks Huw - With a good welsh name like that i guess you know too well about our s*it covered roads then!!!

All disco II have ABS and TC they would not get very far without it.

Could you please let us know what year/model/spec your disco is please, it could be many things really,

Could maybe be a limited slip diff?

That's odd. One of the reasons I hate anyone living in Wales is because they / you have such _good_ roads. Fair do, some may resemble an off-road course, but compared to the roads in Sheffield they're a joy to drive.

I also hate the Welsh for other, petty reasons, like having a lot of clean air, superb scenery, Oggies, walks, climbs, lakes, good beer and a sense of humour - feckem, I hate em...

Always liked Sheffield tho'!

How about an excursion to the antipodes then (I'll even lend you my Series IIa). You'll hate it :-)

Still quite tempted, at that. But I'd rather get the finances something like in order here first, rather than decamp owing quid in all directions. After all, I might want to come back...

Eeeeew.

I acknowledge that some people could read my post and think that I am claiming that I sometimes mysteriously change into a cow and mischievously or maliciously s*it on the road.

I would like it on record that the above is certainly *not* what I meant.

I blame it on that there Paul Daniels, meself.

whereabouts are you in the wilds of welsh wales, anyway? we must meet up sometime.

OK so you didn't change into a cow!

Yep, you're right. I hate the Aussies and Kiwis for all of the same reasons - PLUS generally more clement weather. B'stards.

I'd love to go on an extended holiday tour just so I could tell more of them / you...

(I did nearly grow up in Australia as my parents were planning on becoming "10 Pound Tourists". My Father, being a shepherd was finding it hard to get work in Peckham...)

That's right ;-0
