Wotcher c**ks, long time no visit here, I'm surprised it's still got a few people kicking about.
Anyway, as per title, I've seen countless posts on similar-ish topics on va rious websites but not really any clarity based on experience. So I'll ask this;
Has anyone tried driving down a muddy hill in a fairly late-model Defender with ABS? When in low range on tickover, does the ABS still function or do es it get disabled? I'd prefer it to be off under those circumstances.
I won't be off-roading mine for a while yet and I know about pulling fuses etc but I'd wondered if Landrover had done any tricks with gear selection i ntelligence like they do with the idle speed of the engine.
Also while I'm typing, does anyone have any manuals that detail how the Tra ction Control and ABS work from an end-user perspective, it's much easier t o figure out how to use a thing if you know what it's supposed to do when g iven certain inputs. I've read about quite high revs on the TC but I'd pre fer some kind of official or semi-official text setting it all out rather t han trying to make sense of the usual contradictory arguing from out there on 't internet!
Cheers,
