spot on!

Everyone who has a 4WD with T/C of some description and thinks its crap should go somewhere in a controlled environment and test what works and what not. All of those systems have advantages but not in all situations.

I know that feeling well. Two and a bit years of ownership on my D3 and Im still getting used to how the traction control works in different situations. Its a completely different 4wd to my old 80 series. All my previous 4wds have been manuals and this one is my first auto so that also adds to the difference. I've played around with the hill decent control, and even though its an auto I found 1st gear low to be just as good as any manual I've used meaning I rarely use the HDC.

Bugger !

Is the site still running then ?  Gotta admit I've spent more time driving than forum-ing in the last couple of years.
