Hi to all !

I would like to share this video and will love to receive your comments.



As we all know, the freelander 2 has no low range gearbox. Nevertheless, it is a very capable SUV with its terrain response system. To have enough power, the mode used in this movie is " mud & ruts ". Both wheels on the passenger's side are on the steps, whereas both wheels on the driver's side are on a muddy slope . The car is a manual gearbox. You will notice that the Free stalled in the middle of the stairs because I forgot to deactivate the DSC, which limits the engine throttle and power. For information, I have never been off-road and my knowledge remains "theoretical", especially through some " land rover experience" DVD'S.

Put a smile on my face, we drive great cars  2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.

Gone and fondly remembered
2012 XS (2013 up-grade LED lights front & rear)
2007 hse (2011 facelift)

Just looks like an amateurs attempt to me.

Absolutely no reason (with a driver who knows what their doing) to get up there, all controlled and in one go .....
....oh, and get back down easily in a controlled manner.

Or us it just me.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

It is explained in original post that the driver is an amateur and no previous experience of off-roading.
(They Just watched off road vids)

I liked the vid and was convinced he would ground 1/2 way up
I am also impressed with our amazing cars

Thanks for Sharing Julien
Joe Fix it until it's broke !

They will go up slopes and steps far steeper than that, it's always daunting in your own car, you feel like you will break it, they are very capable and capable of far more than most of us ever push them to.

Thanks for sharing though and keep it up

Just shows how capable these cars are, most suv's would struggle with this.

Yes agree I should've read his post in more detail before responding.
Thought this was just another YT hit.

Apologies Charisme1

We had a lorry do a similar thing to that the other week, couldnt be bothered to reverse again so drove over everyones front gardens, rockery and all, the driver never had a problem with that either it appears.

What do you want Julien, a round of applause?

Not at all Iain. Don't be sarcastic.You didn't read carefully my posts before.....
All what I am asking for is an advice or comment about the relation between stalling / lack of power / and switching off DSC while going on obstacles like that (or a steep slope ).

Thanks Freelander 2 TD4 S / Santorini black / Genuine factory GPS with Bluetooth phone connection / Front and Rear parking aids
