Hi, is there a document that details what actually changes when different terrain settings are selected. I've been on a few LR Experience days and been told odd things that go on when, say mud &Ruts is selcted but I'd like to know the difference between them all, especially as I have a manual gearbox.

Thanks

Well that's a good start, my car is manual so I'm interested to know what it does for me. I'm guessing it's just how active the traction control is as it obviously can't affect gear changing and engine revving / torque.
Thanks

i have been on 2 LR Experience visits at Dunkeld. See my Gallery photos
I sometimes use my FL2 as safety car on forrest rallies which are Gravel roads, we need to keep to a schedule but at sensible speed. Other specialist cars follow later at increased speed.
Unless the tracks are very wet and muddy the best programme is SPORT MODE with terrain OFF. Much more throttle control and flexibility. Using GGS you reduce throttle response and it feels as if you are drifting round corners instead of driving.
Sport mode gives much more control of vehicle even at normal speeds.

In addition I often drive a single track, public, hill road which is very twisty and hilly, a much smoother drive in sport mode. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

Driving on snow in snow mode I didn't notice much difference (forgot I had it selected) until I turned on to the Autobahn and wondered why I had no acceleration! It just makes everything much smoother for a heavy footed fellow like myself. Mud and Ruts has a similar effect and turns the HDC on. Apparently the power distribution front to back is affected but I haven't noticed - that may be the reason for the "drifting round corners" effect mentioned. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

My son spends a lot of time driving on farm tracks and across fields and then on ordinary roads and often doesnt even put it in any of the off road modes as it generally sorts itself out. Incidentally he thinks that the hill descent control is brilliant when he has to use it. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

I think I need to find a friendly farmer with a soggy field and try things out myself

I tested my snow and ice mode in 2010 down Dartmeet hill on Dartmoor it seam to make the Abs system respond better or less aggressive as when it was off I almost my self when I had to brake sharply due to sleeping sheep on the road. I switched the mode to snow and ice mode which seams to cut throttle response but seams to also adjust the abs braking as well.
