From what i gather.

It is the LR taught way to increase the engine revs as so to make the ETC work for you benefit.
So i would advise giving it a little more welly. or dropping down a gear. say 2nd low box. instead of relying on 3rd to have the torque to keep the wheels turning but limited spinning.

I hope that helps.

In a rough ar$e sort of way floor it as the tc put the brakes on sapping power i have seen very good results from pretty much burrying the loud pedal.

8) One of the reasons i bought the truck was to go and play in the sand dunes in Morocco!!! I didn't want it taking the power from me half way up a dune  :evil: Cheers for the advice guys :wink: cant wait to get out and boot it through some mud :mrgreen:

I have driven in the Dune's of the Erg Chebbi (Morocco ) many time's with a defender with T/C best thing is 1bar tyre pressure and pull the t/c fuse out or as you say you are braking going up hill.

Yeah i pulled the fuse out over the weekend whilst playing just to see what happened, all i got was the T/C and Park brake lights show up on the dash. Everything else seemed work as normally  :D
I was thinking of putting it on a switch, just to make it a bit easier. Ive got air con and getting to the fuses can be a bit awkward!!

For sand it seemed to be better to pull the TC fuse.

As in the words of V, cobley. whilst out in morocco in 05.

Drive it like you stole it  :twisted:
