2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Stornoway Grey

All so the "Gradient Release Control" does not work as well as one expected unless you are on a very very steep hill.


Hey NPinks

I know I've asked a lot about this in this forum, but have you got the GRC working at all yet? Do you have a manual or auto?

I wonder if LR can update the software to kick in at less of a gradient, the new mondeo has this, and I can't belive it only works at over 20% gradient, in fact I'm sure I've seen a video of it on a slight slope.

Thanks for this

Rich

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Baltic Blue

Dan, been having a another think on this one. I, like most do not use TR everyday, in fact I do not even use it every time Emily goes off road. So would it be possible to show the major attributes of each setting on the display screen ie controlled throttle response, enhanced low rev torque. This would much help with setting selection, after all settings like Grass,Gravel,Snow are very wide and glutinous mud is as torque sapping as sand. Likewise with some gravel instant throttle response is certainly a good idea and what would you want to use wading a flood. I hope you get the drift, some of us like to make our own choices based on what it looks like through the windscreen and underfoot and I am b******d if I can remember what it said on the box.
On the issue of what p8888s me off. When TR is switched on could it please reverse the parking sensor switch so that you could turn them on when required not off when not. Also disable seat belt warning chimes(Ive done mine manually but would prefer them not disabled for on the odd occassion when I let Emily out of my care) Have you ever driven down a farm track with countless gates.BongBONGbong............................ still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

i have pondered on it aswell

Could the SATNAV display show what the cars TR is doing, like the RRS/DISCO3/FFRR showing were the powers going, when all four wheels are been powered and when the ABS is kicking in

A altimeter, and one of those angle of lean indicators could be added too for true off roading Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Dan, Its great to know LR cares. Thanks for asking for our views. I just wonder how widely known is this forum amongst the decision makers back at the HQ? still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit
