23 Discovery 3 & 4's (and one lone Range Rover Sport) from AULRO tackle some of the gnarly hills around Mt Walker near Lithgow.

I love these videos. It's amazing to see the differences in traction control between the D4, D3, and Rangey. They certainly have been improving. That poor rover with it's wheel spin. And the difference between the D4 and D3 is noticeable as well. I hope the D4 isn't the last off road capable Discovery that we see.

Unfortunately Black Betty (the RRS you see struggling in the video) had probs with traction control that eventually resulted in shattering the front left CV not long after this. When we pulled it out, there was nothing but shards of metal left of the CV. In some sections the TC was working, and in others it failed to engage at all even though there were clearly traction problems.

What was the final root cause of the TC problems on BB? I have an 06 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, and sometimes when only three wheels are on the ground, it seems to allow a lot more spin than those discovery 3's and 4's, before locking the wheel in the air sending the power to the wheel on the ground. Could too much rust between the wheel speed sensors and the hub where they mount cause a poor ground? I do not have any faults or lights on the vehicle. Maybe it's normal, I don't know. Do you have any thoughts?

Hi Sean, No reason provided for why this happens but your original theory is on the right path. TC is governed by sensors and if they happen to be adversely affected from either mud/rust/damage/misalignment or even just a sensor malfunction, then you are going to have problems with it. I am not convinced that ours is working 100% without faults and will continue to test it on our of road misadventures. Will keep you posted

The air suspension is better at articulation than straight coils as they are cross linked with a valve opening in low range. Coils won't work as well. The only problem with the air suspension is it takes moe pressure to gain height and you lose compliance as a result.

They run a 17" composite rim Yuri so they get a lot more tyre choices. You can only do that on the 2.7ltr model though. You need to run 18's on the 3litre due to the larger brakes.

@trolltrooper434010 жыл бұрын
For the amount of poor articulation these vehicles have, i have to say they handled the terrain quite well and was very surprised with how well they did. Has that got anything to do with the traction control side of things? Could this be the future for ifs? I do know that toyota grabbed 2 200 series recently and put them through there paces, 1 being the normal ifs set up and the other being a fully custom made solid axle set up and they said that because the ifs traction control aids worked so well there wasn't much of a difference between the two so they didn't think it was an expense worth going ahead with making the 200 series solid axle. Love your videos , keep them up mate!

It's definitely all about the traction and suspension systems. I saw the D4 on road tyres tackle muddy rutted tracks that older seriously modified vehicles struggled with. I'd have to say they are the best on-road/off-road combo vehicle on the market. There are limitations, but for most people, they will rarely find those boundaries a limitation to what they want to do with the car.
