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 shit 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 shit. LOL

Hwyl fawr a noswaeth dda,

Huw

Thanks Huw - With a good welsh name like that i guess you know too well about our shit 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 shit 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
