..speed adjustment is very good when confronted by long downslope road of slippy slidy snow
it gets around the distnct issue of hitting the dry stone walls in abundance around here.
The guys at Landrover Experience - Conistion told me that the capability of a D3 (& presume a D4) is such its rare that you have to select special progs....i.e. there is a mass of things happening & capable of happening "automatically".
The one that brakes the car if a loaded trailer trys to wag the vehicle is to me the best one in there & it cant be turned off so you inadvertantly overide the function.
Having done various courses with them I am more convinced now that you do need some formal training or at least some instruction to get the best out of the vehicle in its special modes. BREXIT - done properly.

| Trying different settings in snow |
|
We live off- road and within 500 metres of the house I have a 1-7 slope with a big drop if we slip back. I have had a D2 for several years and could only make this hill in this depth of snow if I used snow chains.
The D3 made it in easily in snow setting on the TR and coming down the hill which is usually the worst as you are looking at the drop if you get it wrong, the D3 in snow in high gearbox with HDC was brilliant.
Learning from the experts on this forum, I tried it with DSC on and off and did prefer it left on going downhill but off going uphill as advised on here.
With the added confidence I stopped half way up the hill which I had never risked in snow before and tried a hill start in high box, snow mode without much success. Dropped into low box, snow mode and the front diff lock came in within seconds and I went up the hill with ease.
It is difficult for anyone to understand how difficult to get out it is where we live if we have bad conditions, but our new D3 is incredible. I learnt a lot on the LR experience at Eastnor Castle and even more on this forum.
Thanks to all with great experience shared to us newbies. 2 x D3's (Twins)
