On coils in comfort and handle impeccable and predicatively. I even had to us rock crawl mode for the first time!! Ohh yes I still have all my Special Functions, even got a front wheel in the air over a wash out. In fact I could not see any advantage of the air when I did this last year! So now you can put all your myths to rest. The other major upgrade was V8 brakes with upgraded discs they got very hot on some downhill sections of tarmac.

The only fault I had was a stuck on handbrake in the middle of nowhere!! even pulling the cord had no release. My iid tool did the job re calibrating the EPB been ok since. Now back I will clean the EPB components and adjust.

Definitely fit for purpose




Looks like a good trip. That terrain and mileage is certainly a good test. Thumbs Up

Sorry to bump this section. But is yours a manual or auto? Manual and on coils seems to suggest a more simplistic Disco? Ideal for overlanding?
