Hi can anyone help with my question, I have a FL2 S, it is a 2008 and does not have the traction knob with 4 settings. It just has two switches.

Can I just get a unit with a knob on it and fit it? is it as simple as that? will that work or is there other bits?

no im pretty sure that you would need to do some work on the ECU and other electronic wizardry as the terrain response dial alters things via electronics only.

Even if it was possible it would become very very pricey to do it

from what ive heard the FL2 is still very very capable without terrain response, you just have to provide more driver input to get the same performance

A guy I know is an instructor at Land Rover Experience, he said that they used to have a couple of S spec cars without terrain response for training specific corporate customers, his opinion is that the car is plenty capable without TR. Even the 2 wheel drive version was apparently more capable than a lot of other manufacturers 4X4's

My son does a lot of off road driving and has had an S and now a GS. He reckons that for practical purposes it makes little difference, the car is pretty good if just left to it's own devices. The TR is more of a "marketing concept" for the school run drivers. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

As the owner of an 'S' I can confirm that it is a very capable vehicle without the terrain response. I guess the question is what has prompted you to think you will need it?

It will go a lot further off road than you probably ever thought it would or need it to go.

The terrain response system is nice, do not get me wrong, but I have never been in the situation where I have gotten stuck without it - and I put mine through an awful lot on a daily basis.

Hope that is of use to you

Im some ways TR just annoys, activating hill descent when you dont need it etc, Make some differences on wet snowy roads but not crucial At work

TR is a great addition to the cars already incredible abilities but not worth the hassle or expense as a retro fit. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Personally I wouldn't go for the S model as I prefer having steering wheel controls and front fog lights. I only used the TR a couple of times in snow and then it was just to have a play really as it didn't need the help.
